State Rep. John LaBruzzo of Metairie became the sixth legislator targeted for recall with organizers submitting papers to the secretary of state’s office Tuesday.
All six legislators are Republicans who voted for the more than doubling legislative pay.
Gov. Bobby Jindal on Monday reversed himself and vetoed legislation that would have raised base pay from $16,800 to $37,5000.
Neither LaBruzzo nor recall petition organizers, Landon Greene and Tammy Famiglio of Metairie, could be reached for comment late Tuesday.
Other subjects of recalls are state Reps. Franklin Foil and Hunter Greene of Baton Rouge, Stephen Pugh of Ponchatoula and Joe Lopinto of Metairie.
Recall organizers must get the signatures of one-third of a legislative districts voters within 180 days to force a recall election.
A petition to recall House Speaker Jim Tucker of Terrytown was dropped Monday after Jindal’s veto, organizer John Roberts said.
