“This is what happens when Gov. Jindal removes members from the committee.”
—Rep. Katrina Jackson (D-Monroe), on Friday’s House Appropriations Committee approval of the $1.1 billion contract with Blue Cross/Blue Shield to serve a third party administrator (TPA) for the Office of Group Benefits.

Do the committee members get extra compensation for serving on a particular committee?
No, just extra prestige.
Did we ever doubt that the Lil Hitler would keep getting rid of anyone and everyone that doesn’t see things the spoiled brat’s way. Anyone with a half a brain can sniff out what Jindal is really up to. I truly beleave all the wrong Jindal is doing will come back and bite him real hard!!!! It is a shame the good people of this State will pay the price for his self-serving agenda!!
The legislators could have had some balls and continued to say no on principal, if nothing else. They are powerless drones now. I would have made him remove every one of us until he didn’t have enough heads to form a committee.
