Since Gov. Bobby Jindal has wimped out by refusing to veto the legislative pay raise, it’s good to see at least House Speaker Jim Tucker the target of a recall effort.
If other voters feel the same sense of outrage against their own legislators, perhaps the Secretary of State’s Office should conduct a seminar on the ins and outs of conducting a recall petition in other legislative districts.
It’s a complicated business, made so by public officials who put many technical stumbling blocks in the way of such an effort.
Jindal has gone back on a written campaign promise to “prohibit” legislative pay raises from taking effect before a subsequent election of legislators.
It seems appropriate to suspend use of the honorific “Gov.” in front of Bobby Jindal’s name, since he declines to do so.
