“It will be determined through the process of the proper procedure of rule-making.”
–Gov. Piyush Jindal mouthpiece Kyle Plotkin, trying to explain how the state will deal with pending tax credits for alternative fuel vehicles pursuant to a bill signed into law by Jindal in 2009. Instead of a $1 million cost to the state as originally anticipated, new projections indicate the cost could be as much as $100 million
Louisiana Voice 
We know how the “Proper Procedure” methods work in Louisiana.
The questions come up at the correct time–after the legislative session is over and the political [yes] votes are gone home to relax and read the paper each day and look like the rest of us at what they did. Find a Conscience or buy one!
Better hurry they will not be cheap for long.
Word salad.
The problem here is that all that cash could end up going to regular people, instead of being used to reimburse Piyush’s pals for their investments in his career.
dp, you are exactly right. While I’m no big fan of Secretary Bridges, she was following the law as written. (My family took advantage of this particular “loophole” this year.) This “law” was written by the legislature and signed by the governor. Before he goes out and starts retroactively denying all the claims, I would like to see a complete list of who benefited from the tax credit matched to political contributions, especially in 2009 and 2010. Individuals are explicitly allowed to claim this tax credit, but it wasn’t “advertised” with an easy check box on the state tax form. The list of eligible vehicles is on an IRS website. Mostly this tax credit benefited those who have a CPA do their tax prep. LDR initially tried to suspend the tax credit on April 30, but almost immediately rescinded their emergency suspension. No surprise that Piyush’s office lied.
