“Once again, Bobby Jindal intends on ramming a bad bill through the Legislature because he knows that bad policy can’t withstand public scrutiny. This governor doesn’t care anything about public employees or the middle class. He just wants to streamline and privatize on the backs of state employees.”
–Leonal Hardman, president of District Council 17 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), commenting on House Bill 850 by Rep. Henry Burns (R-Haughton), a bill being advocated by Gov. Jindal.
Louisiana Voice 
This governor is serving himself and a select few.
How can anyone think doing this grave injustice to the citizens of a state is right and also think they will get away with this travesty?
People have to wake up and get this right, stop giving away your rights.
The government in Baton Rouge is a one-man show financed by deep pockets from outside Louisiana.
Yes! To Mr Hardman & Ms Batiste. Ideology: The govt should not offer any services to the public except defense and safety. But the taxpayers must continue to pay taxes which will be directed to private companies……the private companies will take their cut off the top, and offer reduced services to the citizen taxpayers. We should just pay taxes directly to private corporations and eliminate the middle-man govt.
