The Great Ethics Flim Flam

From the Advocate: Touting ethics reform on one hand while actually weakening ethics standards on the other, Governor Jindal seems to be pulling off one of the biggest political shell games in recent memory.

With the help of his executive counsel and his Legislative managers, the administration is sticking by amendments that promise to make it more difficult to prosecute ethics charges. Whether the Governor can maintain the illusion has as much to do with the will of the legislature (or lack thereof) as it does the willingness of the Governor and his administration to deceive.
