Little bobbie doesn't want anyone to know how he's fucked up the response to the BP spill by whining about the Feds while doing nothing to get the LA NG's 6000 troops approved for deployment. EVen the repubs in LA are getting pissed at him
I wonder what he's hiding?

Gov. Bobby Jindal's decision to veto legislation calling for transparency in the state's dealing with the Gulf of Mexico oil spill is "the height of hypocrisy," says Sen. Robert Adley.
Adley, R-Benton, got overwhelming approval in the House and Senate to add that provision to another bill.
It was lauded by numerous lawmakers as a way show that Louisiana has nothing to hide in dealing with the spill.
But in a veto message issued late Friday, Jindal said the provision could damage the state's position in any legal battles because BP and other parties could see what the state is doing.
"The Deepwater Horizon incident is a man-made event with responsible parties that will create long-term challenges for the State of Louisiana," the governor's veto message says.
"This bill would allow BP and other parties with potential liability to the state to obtain information retained by any state agency responding to this tragic event.....
....Adley said of Jindal's veto message: "His excuse that it might allow BP to get off on what the record shows is ridiculous. How in the world would allowing our records to be public give BP an advantage?"
Attorneys in lawsuits always petition records from the other party.
