I have not been able to get confirmation this came from the Boasso camp.

Jindal and Ethics

 

You know things are getting nasty.  In an email blast on Monday, candidate
for Governor, Walter Boasso has criticized his opponent, Bobby Jindal, on an
area which Jindal is emphasizing in his campaign-ethics.

According to Boasso in an email:

 

"Bobby is having a busy September when it comes to ethics--His ethics.

 

While Jindal faces a hearing by the Secretary of State Ethics Division on
September 13 over his failure to disclose nearly $120,000 in campaign
contributions, the Federal Elections Commission is threatening to audit
Jindal over his failure to disclose campaign contributions on his
Congressional campaign report. 

 

Jindal, who is currently operating both an account for his gubernatorial bid
and one for his Congressional re-election campaign, was notified by the
Federal Elections Commission by letter on August 28th that if he does not
respond to the discrepancies in his Congressional reports by September 28,
he faces an audit of his Congressional Campaign committee (see attached
letter). 

 

"It's time for Bobby to drop his talk about ethics," State Senator Walter
Boasso (D-Arabi) Democratic candidate for Governor said. "It's obvious that
he doesn't believe a word of what he is saying."

Bayoubuzz has not contacted the Jindal campaign for a response since it has
sent over a dozen requests for position papers and responses and has made
numerous phone calls to that campaign which have not been returned.  The
lack of response by Jindal appears to have begun and to correlate to
Bayoubuzz's criticism of Bobby Jindal's lack of debating.  However, in
fairness to the Jindal campaign, a very high GOP official has said to
Bayoubuzz that the Jindal campaign is overwhelmed with various requests.
The Jindal campaign is welcome to provide a complete direct response or
forward a generic response to the Boasso charge and Bayoubuzz will publish
it in its entirety.  Bayoubuzz also does not in any way support Boasso's
claim but is republishing comments from the Jindal campaign and others as
they engage in a non-live debate turf battle to be Governor and has
published numerous claims by the Jindal campaign and the GOP and other
candidates and political parties and  in the past and will do so in the
future.
