Does Louisiana Need More Ethics Laws?
OPINIONS:
It is my opinion that Governor Jindal will be left at the gate over the next four years. Why do I feel this way? It was reported by the media that the Governor allowed several lobbyist groups to pay for the celebration of the “OATH-OF-OFFICE” festivities.
Former Governor Foster, stated that Governor Jindal’s Cabinet are mostly young and lacking in government experience (Foster on Channel 9 News in Baton Rouge, Louisiana)
Governor Jindal’s “CHIEF-OF-Staff” completed his last 2 years of high school by home schooling and has no college, according to media sources. What kind of message is the Governor sending out to our young people? To the Louisiana public education system?
Why did the Governor appoint a person from Florida to head up the “LOUISIANA” department of health?
In my opinion, we have too many laws at every level of government (Federal, State, Local, and municipal). It appears that when a situation like corrupted elected or public officials become a focus by the citizens of the state, someone decides to legislate more laws. Maybe, just maybe, if existing laws were enforced and more violators were indicted, there would not be a need for more laws. What lead the Governor into believing that the additional laws will be enforced? If the Governor is sincere in wanting to stop public corruption in Louisiana, he can begin “NOW”, in Lafourche Parish, without any additional legislation.
I hope that I am proven wrong in my opinion, but a flawed start usually turn out to be a flawed administration. Just ask Lafourche Parish President, Charlotte Randolph. All comments are welcome.
