WWBD: What Would Bobby Do

Our meeting with Bobby Jindal was like a sprint to an undisclosed finish line. Mr. Jindal is quick with the statistics, quick with the obvious, and says it extremely well. His "Fresh Start for Louisiana" offers some details worth studying for Ethics Reform and for Crime and Safety Reform. The details however become a little sketchy for Improving Health Care, Increasing Economic Development, Reforming Government, and Strengthening Education. He offered some tree-top ideas in each of these areas during the meeting and obviously has a plan in mind.

The very articulate Mr. Jindal is ready to go somewhere with an aggressive agenda if elected governor. Like the other candidates I've met he has a desire to take advantage of a unique time in our state's history to effectively realize the kind of change that brings us to a renaissance that will create a Louisiana that will be the envy of our neighbors and the nation.

My concern with Mr. Jindal is that he offers no interest in environmental issues and the lack of specifics in some of the topics he identifies on his web site. If he becomes Governor Jindal he will lead us somewhere fast and it will be where he believes will bring about the historic change that was never possible before. Those who are part of the Jindal administration had better buckle up for a fast and, at times rocky, ride. Change never comes easy.
