History made. Jindal to take office as Louisiana governor

BATON ROUGE -- Cannon blasts and the roar of fighter jets will mark Gov.-elect Bobby Jindal's swearing-in ceremony, as he becomes the nation's first elected Indian-American governor.

Thousands were expected to attend Monday's ceremonies on the Capitol steps, which will also include the swearing-in of Louisiana's other statewide elected officials: the incoming attorney general, James "Budd More..y" Caldwell, and incoming agriculture commissioner Mike Strain, and Secretary of State Jay Dardenne, Treasurer John Kennedy, Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu and Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon.

On Sunday, Jindal attended a prayer service where churchmen from around the state read scripture and offered support. Jindal sat in a front pew next to wife Supriya and other family members at St. Joseph Cathedral in downtown Baton Rouge.

The inauguration was set to begin at 10 a.m. with music from the West Monroe High School marching band. Pascal Calogero, chief justice of the state Supreme Court, was to swear in the 36-year-old Jindal at 11:30 a.m.

Alexandria singer Mickey Mangun planned to sing the national anthem and F-15s were to fly overhead after the singing of "God Bless America."

State lawmakers were to be sworn in inside the Senate and House chambers.

An invitation-only inaugural ball will be held Monday night, in the Baton Rouge River Center.

The inaugural ceremonies will be broadcast live by Louisiana Public Broadcasting, beginning at 11 a.m., both on the Internet -- at www.lpb.org -- and on television statewide. Less..
