Ten of the eleven members of the Heh, Heh, Heh, State Ethics Board quit, including the board’s top administrator. The board cannot do anything because it no longer has a quorum of members.

Bobby Jindal claims LA leads the nation in ethics laws. We give him pass on that bit of erroneous hyperbole. After all, Bobby is a politician and lying by politicians has been found to be “protected speech” by some Federal courts.

In summary

According to Jindal we have the “toughest ethics laws in the nation.” Even if that were true, they are unenforceable because of language Jindal allowed to be put into the enforcement mechanism. If the laws were enforceable, there is nobody to enforce them.

That gives new meaning to “come to Louisiana, we’re open for business.” It now is more like come to Louisiana and let’s make a deal there are no rules.

IS THIS A GREAT STATE OR WHAT!
