Jindal ally Kostelka will “hugely oppose” move to improve ethics standard

From the Adovcate: Monroe Senator Bob Kostelka, Governor Jindal’s senate floor leader, is expected to strongly oppose the House’s move to return the standard for prosecuting alleged ethics violations from “clear and convincing” back to its original “reliable and substantial evidence” standard. Taking its cue from the Jindal administration, a majority of House Republicans opposed the amendment by State Rep. Cedric Richmond though it still passed by a narrow 45-42 vote with 17 members not voting.
