Potential Gubernatorial Bid
In May 2012, Long indicated in an interview with The Piney Woods Journal in Winnfield that he is considering a gubernatorial bid of his own in 2015, when Jindal will be prohibited from seeking a third consecutive term. In that interview Long criticized a bill submitted by State Senator Elbert Guillory, an Opelousas Democrat, which would freeze cost of living adjustments to state retirees until an overhaul of the pension system is established. Long, a member of the Senate Retirement Committee said that the Guillory plan is "a really bad bill" and if implemented could mean that retirees might never obtain a COLA.
