THE LOUISIANA LEGISLATURE CONTINUES TO FEEL THE WRATH OF VOTERS! HOUSE SPEAKER JIM TUCKER HAS ISSUED THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT REGARDING THE LEGISLATIVE PAY RAISE BOONDOGGLE!

XXX

It is an honor to serve the people of House District 86 as State Representative and Speaker of the House. Since final passage of Senate Bill 672 on June 16th, the issue of legislative compensation has overshadowed all of the substantial gains and reforms the legislature has accomplished in only six months.

I am grateful for the many calls of support and I will continue to communicate with my constituents on all issues.

I will respect whatever Governor Jindal elects to do with Senate Bill 672 and remain committed to working with him to bring about the positive changes that all citizens of Louisiana deserve.
