I believe Piyush "Bobby" Jindal gets his North Louisiana support from Mike Foster, who's a redneck that lives in South Louisiana (Franklin, LA). Mike Foster's grandfather was very instrumental in establishing Louisiana Tech when he was governor and you know them Ruston necks have some deep pockets. All the big road contractors in Louisiana supports Mike Foster, such as Boh Brothers, Diamond B., Gilchrist, James Construction, etc. Mike Foster set them up pretty with the TIMED program, which is why you can ride from Ruston to Alexandria, Monroe to Alexandria, Alexandria to Lake Charles, and Lake Charles to Shreveport on a 4-lane highway. Also, the TIMED program is the reason why the Huey P. Long Bridge in Metairie is being widen.
