They don't either! I see none of them mentioned his agenda as Secretary of the Department of Health & Hospitals under Gov.Foster before he became a Congressman.

I said I liked his previous plan but I would like to know more.

Now I have stated why I liked him. This was in 1997 or 1996 if my memory serves me correctly. I personally think you have a problem because some of us don't support the present Governor of Lousiana.

How do you figure? Ima get paid whoever the current, next, or future Govenor is! For one thing my job is mandated by the Louisiana Constitution and Civil Service protected. Go back and read all of your post, I think you have the issues with the current Govenor! Like I said do your research before you jump on the Jindal bandwagon. I'm sure the information you come up with will make you think twice about the things you typed on here. You said you know about "LOUISIANA POLITICS". Dude you have alot to learn!

Bruh I never said anything about you not getting paid. I stated I feel you are a bit upset because some of us don't support the the present governor.

Also I do have issues with the current Governor. That's without question. The things that I posted are things I have done in the past with success so I speak from experience not just off the top of my head.

This isn't personal bruh so don't make it appear that way. Ok :thumbs:

Educate me. My mother works for a state-run charity hospital....now under the LSU system. If he had anything to do with that, he leaves a lot to be desired as I know of people who earn 4-5 weeks of vacation a year but they have not been allowed to utilize all their time each year. A few other new rules....leave a lot to be desired, but some folks love him. My peeps can't benefit from it...I don't support it.
 
Alpha 3 speak on it. Dude I was not an Obama supporter until I researched further. On the current Governor I stated why I felt she was not the best person for re-election. With me I like hearing a full story before I make my selection.

Nothing was ever taken personal dude, just responding to your statements. The only reason I have to be upset, would be because I think she should have waited until after 6/30/07 to make her announcement. It's about to be a free for all come 4/30/07 when the session begins and no one wants to deal with sticky finger legislators.

Bobby has many notable legislative accomplishments since being elected to the House of Representatives, with none more notable than the successful passage of legislation to bring significant offshore energy revenues to Louisiana for the first time. Other noteworthy accomplishments during Bobby?s first term include:

This a the paragraph right here Jax.

"There were many issues that needed resolving during his tenure, not the least of which was the growing deficit in Louisiana's Medicaid program. Focusing his attention on the problem, Jindal led the effort to revamp the system."

That last sentence should include: " utilizing the operational plan already set in place by Mr. David Hood(DHH Secretary under Gov.Edwards). The only thing he did was implement the State Plan that was designed before he got there. Second Jindal made various cuts to that agency, which really hurt the black community. DHH was created by the Louisiana Consitution to make a means for the poor to receive healthcare. Although the Constitution calls for this agency, the Secretary recommends the amount of his operating budget. Once that number is signed into Law under House Bill 1, it cannot be increased only decreased. When the Legislature says okay we need make cuts, you think he touched his salary or programs that hurt a certain people. He cut programs that our community benefited from:AIDS, Mental Health, Drug and Alcohol Abuse treatment, etc etc. DHH is the state's largest agency which in recent years gets the bulk of the State's Budget. He went in there and cut most of the Programs that served the black community. People wonder why Hospitals like Earl K Long, and Chartity in New Orleans look the way they do. When you think of Earl K Long, which group of citizens come to mind that seek service there. He cut or reduced funding for many of the programs designed to aid the poor of this State. I can go on and on but I know you all see where I'm going.

Wasn't Hood called testify against Edwards but for some odd reason got a case of the "I do not recall syndrome."

I remember hearing about that, vaguely. See, that's the thing with politicians. Some of the things you're for, they're against, and vice versa. I.e. I'm pro life and the person I'm leaning towards voting for is pro choice. That's pretty much the nature of the business. Now I see why my Pastor said you "have to dig deeper than deep when it comes to politicians. Check out their voting record. We could be voting for some one who supports gay marriages but never know it."

Appreciate that tidbit of info phrat. That just showed me I need to do some more research.
