Jindal rushing to fill ethics board
06:35 AM CDT on Tuesday, August 26, 2008
BATON ROUGE, La. -- Governor Bobby Jindal has almost two months to make seven appointments to fill empty slots on the now dormant state Ethics Board, but he says he hopes to make his appointments within a week.
Jindal can appoint seven from a list of nominees submitted to his office Friday by a panel of independent college presidents. That would be enough for the board to start transacting business by October. The House and Senate also have one appointment each to make to the 11-member board.
Nine board members resigned in June amid complaints that their power to decide whether ethics violations have occured was being transferred to administrative law judges.
