Jefferson Resident Drops Jindal Recall Campaign
The 32-year-old Jefferson Parish resident who filed a recall petition last week against Gov. Bobby Jindal said today he will drop the effort now that the governor has vetoed the legislative pay raise bill.
Ryan Fournier, 32, is a Republican who voted for Jindal but was dismayed by the governor’s refusal, until Monday, to stop lawmakers from more than doubling their pay.
“I think we ought to throw in the towel as far as a recall,” Fournier said this morning.
