Louisiana could learn from Obama on this ethics bill.

The Illinois Senate sent Gov. Rod Blagojevich a strong message Monday by approving the state’s toughest-ever restrictions on campaign spending, an attempt to restrict his practice of giving campaign contributors lucrative state contracts.

The Senate’s 55-0 vote came only days after Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama prodded his mentor, state Senate President Emil Jones (D-Chicago), into taking up the matter quickly.

The heart of the legislation is a ban on supporters who have or seek state contracts worth at least $50,000 from donating to statewide officials who dole out the business.

Senators overrode a series of side issues that Blagojevich had tried to insert into the legislation, and their vote means the bill will become law in January. The House had already rejected the governor’s proposed changes.

So you think Jindal should never place ban on supporters who have or seek state contracts worth at least $50,000 from donating to statewide officials who dole out
the business ?
We have seen Jindal false ethics reform and we are in no danger of ever passing any real ethics reform as Obama did.
