Is another jumping the Jindal ship? Thursday, Sep 2 2010

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.
