Jindal will speak to Press Club Monday

The meeting starts at noon in De La Ronde Hall at 320 Third St. downtown. Lunch is $12 for members and $15 for nonmembers.
Advocate gets photo of Jindal mail sorter
A recent request by The Advocate to photograph Gov. Bobby Jindal’s 90-year-old mail sorter at work encountered roadblocks.
“Don’t think possible,” the governor’s press secretary, Melissa Sellers, said by e-mail last Tuesday.
Sellers cited concerns about allowing the media into behind-the-scenes areas of the governor’s office.
She relented after The Advocate circumvented her and snapped photos of the mail sorter at his birthday party.
After the party photo was taken, Sellers offered to allow the mail sorter to be photographed while at work.
The offer was declined since a photo already was taken.
Recall stands against BR state Rep. Foil
The leader of a recall petition against Baton Rouge state Rep. Franklin Foil isn’t dropping the effort even though the pay raise for which Foil voted won’t happen.
Retiree Dan Brown said he is still “disappointed” in Foil so he will press on with the effort to oust him.
