Recall Petition Filed Against Potential McCain Veep

Posted June 27, 2008 | 07:29 PM (EST)


Newly elected Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal is facing a potential recall, after he declined to veto state legislators doubling their salaries.

A contender in John McCain's vice presidential pool, Louisiana's new governor won his campaign by pledging legislative ethics reform. Reacting to the recall petition, Governor Jindal's team released a statement that the pay raise was "excessive and they should reverse it."

Former Jindal supporters Ryan and Kourtney Fournier have 180 days to collect almost one million signatures to force the recall. Fournier explained to Robert Travis Scott of the New Orleans Times Picayune:

"Everybody feels a little frustration with the governor right now. He's not doing what we elected him to do."

3. So does this mean he's going to sign it too?

"Today, in response to the recall petition, Jindal said he agrees with the voters who are angry that lawmakers raised their pay and feels the Legislature should reverse it. He said he's sure more voters will take "extraordinary steps to show their anger over the pay raise before this is all said and done; that's how a democracy works." http://www.ktbs.com/news/Recall-effort-started-against-Jindal--13522/

Or is he advocating "extraordinary steps" like an exorcism ;)
