“I don’t think we have politicians with the guts to ask ’em to pay their fair share. I’ve never seen anyone stand up to the oil companies. We don’t have a congressman who’ll do it. Mary Landrieu won’t do it. David Vitter is Joined at the hip with them. He absolutely won’t do it. You haven’t heard Mr. Jindal say one word about Exxon paying its fair share and you won’t because he’s in their back pocket.”
—Louisiana Public Service Commission Chairman Foster Campbell during an interview on Jim Engster’s show on Baton Rouge public radio station WRKF on Tuesday. Campbell called Jindal’s proposed 3 cent state sales tax increase a bad idea that “won’t work,” and instead, called for a 3 percent processing fee on oil and gas, a move he said would generate $3 billion per year for the state.
