Jindal watches goodwill evaporate

Of this, there can be no dispute: Gov. Bobby Jindal’s honeymoon is over.

The consensus at home is that Jindal lost his luster by declining to veto the Legislature’s lavish pay raise. But Jindal is also playing to a national audience these days, and on that front, he’s taking a different sort of hit.

While Louisiana voters are up in arms over the revelation that Jindal is not above cutting political deals, the deal killer elsewhere in the country could be an unrelated bill that he signed last week, state Sen. Ben Nevers’ “Louisiana Science Education Act.”
