Generator Story Electrifies Legislature! Can Hollywood Be Far Behind?
State Rep. Loulan J. Pitre, Jr. gave me a heads-up via email today that he has proposed the following amendment to two of Senator Jay Dardenne's ethics bills, one having to do with sport events tickets:
"ยง1113.1. Emergencies; prohibited preferences
No public servant shall offer, loan, or donate the property or resources of his governmental entity or loaned or donated to his governmental entity in cases of an emergency for the use of members of his immediate family in a manner that is preferential to members of his immediate family over members of the general public."
Unfortunately, a majority of the House has problems with not being able to accept Saints tickets from lobbyists, so this amendment will not likely become law this session.
Rep. Pitre informs me that, in that event, he plans on introducing the amendment as a stand-alone bill at the next possible session.
This is the second piece of legislation this session deemed necessary as a result of information brought to light by TPRTK. The first was a bill introduced by Rep. Damon Baldone due to information uncovered during the course of our investigation of Charlotte Randolph's expenses. The purpose of that latter legislation was to exempt public credit card account numbers from the Public Records Act.
