Dear Editor:

Well there he goes again; Governor Jindal flew off for two days to North Carolina. While Louisiana “burns” up in debt, Governor Jindal goes off a “fiddling” around for presidential campaign contributions in Charlotte and Raleigh/Durham. What will it take to get our governor.to sit at our desk and work day in and day out to turn our economy around?

For example, it seems there is a company, NUCOR, in North Carolina that was considering building a steel manufacturing plant in Louisiana. It would seem logical to visit North Carolina to seal the deal and get NUCOR to come to Louisiana. But logic is not politic. Now it has been reported that NUCOR will probably go to Brazil instead.

A KNOE straw poll taken after the governor’s junket was reported by the AP showed that well over 60% of those voting thought Governor Jindal should not have made the trip. The last time polls were that bad was when Governor Jindal went AWOL on the legislative pay raises. Maybe Governor Jindal will stop all the gallivanting around for the same reason he stopped the pay raise, his election poll numbers are tanking.
