Showdown between Jindal and house Republicans, perhaps Jindal should dismiss Mr. Tucker.

So much for Jindal trying to reform the corrupt cesspool that is Louisiana politics.

The lad better toughen up, and quick.

We need a windfall profits/wage tax on congress and the senate!

[doodad]

a bill that would triple legislators’ pay

Wow, in a state that still screams how they were left to die. Good to be the king....fish.

Taxpayers are struggling to pay the bills because of high gas prices, increasing food prices and still paying for Katrina in our electric bill payment and these clowns have the AUDACITY to want to take tax money to give themselves a RAISE? Give me a break.

Louisiana legislators’ base pay would be the eighth highest in the nation with the change, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Well, at least we won't be last in something.

Are these people part-time? Who works for $16,000?

$70,000 is hardly outrageous. Why should he sacrifice his own agenda over $5 million a year?

Why do legislators need a raise? Ann Duplessis (D-Da Hood) doesn't need a pay raise if she can afford this...

Pass this along to the other LA Freepers - we need to bring the heat on Jindal to veto this...
