State Social Services secretary resigns (Jindal fires cabinet mbr after Gustav)
« on: September 15, 2008, 02:54:31 PM »

our other favorite governor got very high marks for his handing of his state's response to Gustav, and today
fired one of the weak links.  that didn't take long.

that's what effective governors do with the worthless department heads that they inherit from previous
administrations.  like it it not, people get fired.

State Social Services secretary resigns

State Social Services Secretary Ann Williamson resigned today amid criticism about her handling of disaster food stamps and hurricane shelters.

Cheryl Michelet, spokeswoman for DSS, confirmed that Williamson quit.

Williamson did not return calls.

Gov. Bobby Jindal had vowed to make changes at the state agency after the problems unfolded in the wake of Hurricane Gustav.

Jindal said the problems were avoidable and unacceptable.

“I said before that there will be consequences. There will be significant changes made at the department,” he said last week.

They're from "The Brown" people too, ain't they?

If you don't vote for him you're racist.

Let's see, conservatives = 50% of the vote.
He's "Brown" = 1/2 the guilty liberal vote or 25%
Packy taxi drivers = 5%

There's 80% of the vote....he's a shoooooo-in.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

The assistance lent by the state government in LA post Gustov was absolutely fantastic.
