“This guy came into office with all the promise of cleaning up the old way of doing business, with a chance to really do some good for this state and its people. Instead, all we’ve gotten are a few scattered crumbs brushed from the table.”
—Retired Louisiana Revenue Secretary Joe Traigle, commenting on the monumental failure of the Piyush Jindal administration.

It seems to me that he’s about demolished the table also.
LOL!!
People think the old way was broke should wait until the state starts getting extorted. The scale of the coming criminality will be so staggering that all previous examples will pale in comparison.
I cannot think of a single time that reactionary politicians accomplished good.
Another excerpt from the same ADVOCATE article (November 19):
[“We’d like to be a factor in fact-checking what he says on the national stage versus what he did in Louisiana,” Traigle said.
Through a spokeswoman, the governor refused to comment on the organization.]
Louisiana Truth, Traigle’s fact-checking organization is described as a group of loosely organized volunteers. If the organization fulfills its mission, we have to hope it will do so on a comprehensive basis and not restrict itself to items related to the single key area that is Traigle’s focus.
Of course, Jindal can, with apparent impunity, continue to simply ignore queries from the local media and can probably dismiss this organization as a “fringe” group if questioned about it by the national media.
When Jindal and his lieutenants campaigned for Governor, reducing their platform to a concentrated mantra against corruption- (knowing the principal characters in his cadre) I intuited that Jindal’s would really become the most corrupt administration in Louisiana history. They would cleverly wrap themselves in the flags of religion and reform and dot their Is and cross their Ts to perfection.
Max Webber in his great works examining all the religions of the earth, concluded that most religion consisted of nothing more than the means to keep clean the faces of the most evil characters, painting them as the practitioners of moral perfection. Using such a screen, these predacious pretenders are able to leap far beyond crookery into the legions of villany where they exponentialize the exploits of their situation within the bounds of a legal realm they have created for their own use.
They wrest the crumbs of the poor from the state and pass it on to their pasty faced compadres and in the name of fiscal sanity they turn the insane onto the streets.
