Yes, I am disappointed in Governor Jindall and his lack of accomplishments. Perhaps, I expected too much. Former Gov. Foster praised Jindall so highly that I expected miracles -- including reducing taxes, operating the state with a surplus, improving education, all while making state government more open and completely honest.
What has he done that he and we can take pride in? As soon as he took office he left the state to get involved on the national scene. That hasn't turned out well, to say the least. I will give him credit for trying to improve education in the state; however his effort to provide funds to allow students to leave bad schools and go to private schools has been dealt a blow by the courts. To improve education we must replace poor teachers with better ones and to do that education departments in our colleges must be improved
His proposal to increase the sales tax is l00 per cent wrong. There are problems with the income tax, but Louisiana already taxes low and middle income earners unfairly compared to high income earners. A review of all our taxes is needed; that is a project the governor could take on.
