Only cause he was threatened with a recall.
Let's hope our legislators don't hold the states business hostage over this...
Lets hope they do so we know who not to vote for next time.
That's the only way we'll really know...look at who fucks up Louisiana's future, and vote them out.

Ouch. A public B-ouch Slap.
Bobby just got some bad advice is all. He is back on track. The veto was the conservative thing to do.
200% pay raise with automatic inreases built in. WT_? And then telling us they are conceiding when they agree to pay themselves only an extra 100%. WT_? WT_?
I'm going to be a watching Who is asking for my vote this next election.
I dont know how yall can even begin to think he found his balls or what not. All he is doing is saving his political ass. This whole ordeal was a joke to the rest of the country. In its simplest terms, if he did not veto this particular bill, he was more or less paying the LA legislature to pass his agendas. Now, had they given the Firefighters, Police, Etc... the pay raises they deserved at the same time, at the same speed, and to the same extent of their own raise this bill would have passed no problem.
How he conducts himself the rest of his term will determine whether or not he found his balls and is the guy that ran for governor or not.

I still think he was playing a game of chicken with the Legislature, probably under bad advise and therefore this guy had to go. I didn't totally disagree with the amount of the raise, I did disagree with it happening before the next term and the automatic increases... I have a feeling that the governor was expecting the legislature to self correct with the public's outrage but he didn't count on traditional Louisiana politics still coming in to play as strong as it did. With the legislature calling his bluff they've all now exposed their own top interest to their constituents, with his veto he denied their move and can now move on.

I heard thats the reason why he didn't veto it in the first place.
We should not be any less disgusted by the acts of the Legislature in all this. They tried riding roughshod over the Governor. They tried using their supposed might to tell everyone who ruled the roost. They almost succeeded.
They still may, assuming they try to override the veto. I hope they do try; a very public outcry would surely show itself.

No; but it still would have drug his name through the mud for the national media. This just makes him look like a flip flopper that flip flops.
He made a deal with the devil (the legislature) and got burnt. You pass my bill (word is that it was the school voucher program. Hard to belive that he almost trashed his career over 1,500 kids going to private versus public school) and I won't veto your pay raise.
