About
LegeWatch grassroots organization of Louisiana voters. The recent pay raise is a complete disgrace, and Governor Jindal should veto it. For the legislators who voted for the pay raise, we will recall those we can, and monitor the rest so closely they cannot benefit from the office. If nothing else we will provide any candidate who opposes them plenty of opposition research and volunteers. We need public servants, not a ruling class who arbitrarily takes from us without even the courtesy of a discussion, much less a vote. It’s time to end the free ride in Baton Rouge.
While most of the people who have registered have strong political opinions on a variety of issues, the purpose of this site is strictly to monitor Louisiana politics and keep our legislators accountable - for a change!
LegeWatch consists of Laura, Nick, and a host of volunteers. Robert Davis is serving as our spokesperson.
