That state needs some serious house cleaning there is no doubt about it. When I was there for over 2 months last spring / summer the adds were running on TV almost constantly and it was the opposition to Jindal running them. I never did see a Jindal add while we were there. I saw LOTS of signs on lawns and bumper stickers for him however. He had lots of support in the Lafayette area.
Isn't it amazing that the main opposition paid over $10 Mill, most out of his OWN pocket to secure a job paying less than a quarter million. You can't do that and stay solvent unless there is a lot of untraced money flowing back under the table. It just doesn't make sense to spend multiple millions to gain a job paying less than $200K.
I think it will take several administrations worth of time to get the state cleaned up. The graft and "good ol boy" operations are entrenched all the way down to the little town administrations state wide. If you have money, you can get amazing things done. If you don't have money, you'll wait a long time to see much happen.
