Does the Governor of Louisiana have the legal power to remove local officials? If so, I hope he removed N.O. Mayor Ray Nagin, Police Chief Warren Riley and D.A. Eddie Jordan for gross misconduct, incompetence, & neglect.

As a Louisiana citizen, I could not be more please with that fact that Jindal is our new governor. Working in the medical field, I have seen many ways in which our government has robbed the people of Louisiana. Not to mention, our students and up coming generations have always taken the back seat to our highways and interstates. As a mother, citizen, and former student of Louisiana; I hope Bobby Jindal makes the necessary changes this state so desperately needs!

I wish him the best…
But Fred, I also think that soon we will see the first political assassination here in America, in an awful long time…

I wish Jindall the best and know for a fact he will be better than Blanco but I don’t share his optimism of ridding Louisiana of corruption. It’s so deeply ingrained and widespread that it will take more than one Governor’s term to even scratch the surface. It’s like an iceberg…what you actually see is only a fraction of what actually is below the surface.

Hopefully this is the beginning of a trend that will make it’s way up here to New Hampshire in the next election.
This man sounds like a true success story about what happens when immigrants come here legally and WORK to make themselves better.

You know, if true, I’ll take a boring but effective governor ANYtime.

Katrina had nothing to do with uncovering the corruption in Louisiana, corruption has been in place since the days of Huey P. Long, all Katrina did was wash away some of the dregs…

This is proof that there is a silver lining in every cloud..the hurricane displaced so many of the dim-a-crits around the nation it gave the GOP a chance..and of course Katrina uncovered the La political farce..

Louisana is a great state. Great food, people, music, and sites.

It would be great to have it back.

I wish him only the best.
