Voter’s remorse over Jindal?
From the Houma Courier: Many credit “voter’s remorse” for Governor Jindal’s victory last fall. Is what’s coming going around?
Jindal Just Plain Crap at Governing
Jeffrey, over at Library Chronicles (via YRHT), has a great post on Jindal’s travails. He sums them up thus:
The funny part is that Governor PBJ and his staff are just plain crappy at governing. It’s harder to play the empty promise game from the Governor’s office than it is from the campaign trail. That’s what PBJ’s Dragonslayers are finding out.
Specifically, they’re learning it’s not a good idea to antagonize both sides of the same issue at the same time. In this case, they’re busy lying to voters in order to curry favor with the Legislature. But at the same time that they’re dealing in the back room over this mutual pay raise bill, they’re also letting their panic over the public criticism drive them into posturing intimidation of their partners anyway.
