Mon, 31 Mar 2008 19:25:05 +0000 http://blog.lj4a.com/2008/03/31/i-hope-you-are-happy/#comment-1387 I was planning to link to Mike Stagg's analysis of the Chouest deal in another post in a little bit. Nothing substantial changed in campaign finance reform under Jindal. I never expected him to push for any change that would effect his ability to campaign the way he did... which includes 1/3 of all his campaign contributions coming from "bundled" donations. The end line of my next entry will probably be something like "Isn't it ironic that the person hailed to fix the ethical problems of our state is the person who exemplifies the problems in the first place?".

I knew something about that, but seeing the numbers and machinations in print were a stark reality for me. That one looks like some SERIOUS backscratching. I blogged about campaign finance reform, but I am trying to figure out what the heck has actually changed in this supposed revolution. Other than political ideology, it looks like the same old same old to me. Did you see The Advocate’s article this a.m. on the Chouest deal?
