New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has pledged three straight years of tax cuts to the overburdened citizens of the Garden State.
Wisconsin Scott Walker took on the public sector unions in his state, curbing their collective bargaining rights. His controversial moves have saved the state millions, without raising taxes or laying off public workers.
Now Louisiana Booby Jindal has joined the limited government Jamboree. Not content merely to curb benefits to future employees, Jindal is moving to lower the benefits received, raise the payments invested, and delay the release of benefits to current government employees.
This governor has led his state through hurricanes, oil spills, political realignments, and now he is taking on the costly public benefits accorded to state employees during more flush times, which now threaten to bankrupt the Bayou state to the tune of $18.5 billion dollars in unfunded liabilities.
Would the governor care to pay a visit to the tarnished Golden State? We could use the Cajun boldness that has prompted this governor to demand the unthinkable: force state employees to serve their state and citizens by taking less, giving more, and doing so in a timely fashion.
Merci Beaucoup pour votre exemple, M. Le Gouverneur!
