Ethicsyness

Bobby Jindal has run the most ethicsy administration ever.  Thank goodness the voters responded to his 2007 campaign's call to slay the dragon of non-ethicsyness. The state continues to reap the bounty of that movement.

The state Department of Education’s heavy reliance on contracts rather than
doing the work in-house merits scrutiny, the chairman of the Louisiana House Appropriations Committee said Tuesday.

“I am wondering where the oversight comes,” said state Rep. Jim Fannin, D-Jonesboro.

The issue, which Fannin has raised in the past, surfaced during a budget review of the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, which sets policies for more than 700,000 public school students statewide.
