One of Jindal's featured proposals in the current special session on ethics is a bill that would end the controversial provision in the ethics code that lets legislators accept free entrance to sporting and cultural events, golf games and other outings.
It appears, however, that nobody was listening:
Gov. Bobby Jindal's top aide and several legislators used free tickets from the governor's New Orleans Arena suite to treat their daughters and other relatives to the Hannah Montana recent live concert.
Four tickets each were given to House Speaker Jim Tucker, R-Algiers; Sen. John Alario, D-Westwego; Rep. Jeff Arnold, D-Algiers; Rep. Austin Badon, D-New Orleans; and Superdome Commission board member Julio Malera. Teepell's brother Taylor Teepell used three tickets.
Or could it be, let's not practice what we preach.
