Thanks for that head’s up. I can’t vote for any big government Republican any more. And I won’t, because it just keeps getting worse when we do.
I couldn’t have said it better. I hope that, before I die, there is a conservative leader on the ballot.
Despite a “hiring freeze” for the first 6 months of Bobby Jindal’s term as governor, as of December 1, 2008, the number of state employees (not positions, but bodies) INCREASED by 2,778. Source: LA Department of Civil Service.
On December 1, 2008, Bobby instituted another “hiring freeze.”
In an article (see here) in Sunday’s Baton Rouge we learned that the current number of state employees is 103,775.
In less than 2 months of the latest “hiring freeze” the number of state employees has INCREASED by 1,424.
Thus, in one year and two “hiring freezes” the total number of state employees has INCREASED by 4,202 or 4.2%.
We don’t have a “freeze.” What we have is a “snow job.”
