“Jindal Must Pay His Own Fine” Bill Passes House

From the Times-Picayune: A bill introduced by Rep. Karen Carter-Peterson that carries  implications for Governor Jindal was approved by the Louisiana House today. The bill, which would preclude third parties from paying fines over campaign finance violations, means the governor, who faces ethics charges for failing to report $118,000 in contributions from the state Republican party, would be responsible for paying his fine. To date Jindal has resisted calls to pay the fine personally and his campaign treasurer Rolfe McCollister has since offered to pick up the tab.
