Money Well Spent

Thursday March 6, 2008
The Times Picayune
This article is written about what the new Louisiana governor Booby Jindal has accomplished and what he wants to accomplish. The article describes in detail what the recently proposed 2008- 2009 budget that Jindal came up with consist of. The budget seems to have a lot of good points including helping make more hurricane protection and fixing roads across the state of LA. It is evident that this article was written by a supporter of JIndal because nowhere in the article does it say anything negative about him. I think the author did pretty good research for this article; however, he maybe could have included a few negative things about Jindal.

I believe that articles like this should have more negative as well as the positive. Articles seem better written if they adequately present both sides of the argument they are trying to convince you of.

I agree. Articles written this way are not very credible to me because they choose one side and do not examine the other. Although the author included facts, it was facts of only one side. This makes it seem like the author did not fully complete his research. Other than this the article seems well written.

I would definitely like to read this article. I have met Bobby Jindal and I would have voted for him but I was too young. I also have not kept up with what he's done in his term so far, so I would be very interested to read this article. I love the way Jindal thinks ahead to the next hurricane or just making things better for the future Louisiana. the article could have probably been more effective if the author would have included some things Jindal could be doing better.
