Everybody hates Jindal's tax plan

I wonder this (finally) means the legislature won't just give him whatever he wants.
That plan has been hammered by both industry groups and advocates for the poor and faces organized opposition from House Democrats and distrust from conservative Republicans. At the same time, no constituency inside or outside the Legislature has yet materialized to formally support the proposal.

"I don't see how you get something passed when you've got that much opposition already," said Rep. Harold Ritchie, D-Bogalusa, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee. Members of that committee, which must give the proposal their blessing before it moves on to the full House for a vote, have raised numerous concerns as the early parts of the package have been explained in recent weeks.
Clancy Dubos thinks the Governor is delusional.. or perhaps chemically altered.. to maintain confidence in the proposal at this point.  But there's very little precedent that suggests he shouldn't.
