Kostelka gets testy

From the Advocate: Republican State Senator Bob Kostelka, who is currently at the center of the controversy over Governor Jindal’s move to weaken ethics enforcement standards, lashed out at state Ethics Board general counsel Richard Sherburne last week, accusing him of trying to lobby the legislature against adding the tougher standard for prosecuting ethics charges. Turns out, Kostelka was wrong. Sherburne had not commented on the standard change until after the legislation had passed.
