Bobby Jindal floor leader House Speaker Jim Tucker is sounding like a man breaking ties with the fiscally-irresponsible Jindal Administration. ( See story here.)

After carrying Jindal’s water to increase the state spending “cap” by a billion dollars in 2008 Tucker seems to have recognized the folly of that action.

Tucker blames Jindal and the state senate for the impending $2 Billion budget shortfall.

Tucker said next year’s looming $2 billion budget shortfall could have been mitigated if the Senate and Gov. Bobby Jindal had been willing to make more significant cuts in the current and previous budgets. Monroe News-Star, September 2, 2010.

Tucker apparently wants a future in Louisiana politics.  It remains to be seen how many of his lege colleagues feel the same way.

Fiscal conservatives who still support Jindal, if there are any, should jump ship.

IB, who would you rather see as Governor right now?

I wish you’d ask me Troll!!

And therein lies the problem.

You know with the possible, emphasis on possible, exception of KBB I believe I would take any of the former governors still living outside of incarceration.  I would probably take KBB if she promised to let someone else act as governor if a hurricane hits.

(Humor intended, but let’s hear it from
you!)
