(AP) — Gov. Bobby Jindal has been much more visible during the opening week of the regular legislative session than he was in previous sessions. Jindal testified before a Senate committee on Tuesday and watched debate in the Senate on Wednesday. His office has sent out lists of bills the governor is supporting. And his staff has been offering more commentsin committee hearings. The changes come after lawmakers complained they didn’t know thegovernor’s positions on bills during the last legislative session and received conflicting information, particularly about a legislative pay raise bill that Jindal ultimately vetoed. Jindal said the increased visibility will persist.—–Contact The Daily Reveille news staff at [email protected]
