“Unabashed power trip without a road map. Where he’ll throw us off the bus, no one knows.”
—State Sen. D.A. “Butch” Gautreaux, on Gov. Bobby Jindal’s veto that protects charter schools that leave the Teachers Retirement System of Louisiana from being required to repay the state for their pro rata shares.



Teachers* Retirement System…not Tearches
And, today’s veto reports are even more distressing. Here’s part of the text of an e-mail I sent Senator Gautreaux:
[“Thanks so much for your efforts to protect our retirement and group benefits programs, your sincerity, and your courage and willingness to stand up to a governor and administration intent on autocracy.
We need people like you in state leadership positions. Please consider running for something soon, if not governor!!”]
Please join me and others encouraging him to get back in the game despite being term-limited.
