As Louisiana's governor faces ethics charges, his lawyer raises bar for future ethics investigations
83% Informative
Legislation was drafted by the personal attorney of Gov. Jeff Landry , who faces ethics charges.
Proponents say the measures give those accused of ethics violations more opportunities to respond to allegations.
Watchdog groups warn the changes will undermine the board's ability to hold public officials accountable.
Landry’s private attorney, Stephen Gelé , drafted the legislation.
Watchdogs say officials with the legislative and executive branches now have more control over those who may be tasked with investigating them.
“It’s going to be very difficult for the board to act in a way that guarantees that kind of oversight we want to have.”.
