He was awful willing to go along with the huge pay raises the legislature wanted.I question his ability to lead.
I mentioned this the other day...he’s still pretty new to the job and he’s young, so it’s not reasonable to see him act like Haley Barbour just yet. Besides, he has nobody to have learned from. In the end, you got the veto, what more would you like him to do?
Gov. Jendal was calling their bluff. He didn't want to give the Leg an excuse to dodge the ethics reform. He trusted that the people would shout down the Leg.'s pay raise move. And they did. He knew he would catch flack from the "glass is half full" crowd like you, but he knew that the larger goal was to clear out the dead wood from the Leg. and the rest of LA government.
