[Westley Annis]

Heh...so much for the "reform" governor.  If it keeps up at this rate he'll
be a one-term wonder.

	Nine members of state ethics board resign
	
	EXCERPTS from article by Caroline Moss Baton Rouge, LA (WAFB)
	
	It takes eight members to launch any ethics investigation, so right
now, all
	research is completely stopped. "Now, you're seeing it happen and we
	all
	need to settle in to the fact that do not have real ethics
enforcement from
	here on out," Stonecipher says. He says board members are leaving
because
	legislators and the governor basically told them to. He made that
	 prediction
	in February. "We are going to effectively stop this ethics board
from
	doing
	what they otherwise normally do."
