“Legislators will have to give full financial disclosure. There will be no exceptions and no loopholes.”
“I will have a high standard for performance and a zero-tolerance for ethical lapses by my administrative appointments.”
—Gov. Bobby Jindal, on his insistence on transparency and compliance with ethics regulations, some time before he paid a $2,500 ethics fine after then campaign chief and now Jindal Chief of Staff Timmy Teepell “forgot” to report an expenditure of $118,265 that the Republican Party of Louisiana spent on direct mail on Jindal’s behalf in June of 2007.



Total B.S.
Everyone makes the right “ethical” decisions.
It’s those pesky prudent decisions that get in the way after the ethical questions have been answered.
You know, the kind where a Governor, for instance, might have to weigh the risks to his own livelihood, business practice, and standard of living, and makes choices that will sustain those things that are important to HIM over and above the quality of life (or just loss of life) of others?
It’s about those premises upon which the decisions are made being so totally out of whack and in conflict with what we thought the goals of the enterprise (Government) were that we tip back in shock and amazment, only do one thing – stand apart.
I hear Timmy Teeple is back on the campaign trail. 3 month haitus from
State Government pay. Is it work for the White House?
