Jindal Advisory Council Falls Short on Campaign Finance

As Dan Zimmerman points out, Governor Jindal’s ethics advisory council punted on the topic of campaign finance reform.

The fact that campaign finance law was not a primary focus of the Council says a lot about how meaningful this reform will be.

The council “recommend[ed] conducting additional research” on campaign finance reform. Anyone familiar with the multitude of “study resolutions” passed by the state Legislature each year should have a good idea of the significance of such language.
