Louisiana Speaker of The House, Jim Tucker, Republican of District 86 and a Investment Banker/Real Estate Developer, could possibly bear some ill will against the Louisiana Ethics Board.
From the posts below, you can clearly see Speaker Tucker’s feelings toward the Ethics Board.
Perhaps that could be from the ethics charges placed against him by the Board, but for which he was found not guilty of, on October 11, 2007, for his allegedly may have violated:
•At a time when Jim Tucker served as an elected member of the Louisiana State House of Representatives;
•At a time when Jim Tucker owned 60% of Garden Oaks Holdings, LLC;
•At a time when Jim Tucker, on behalf of Garden Oaks Holdings, LLC applied for tax credits through the Gulf Opportunity Zone Tax Credit Program administered by the Louisiana Housing Finance Agency for the development Jackson Landing;
•When Jim Tucker, on behalf of Garden Oaks Holdings, LLC, entered into contract(s) with the Louisiana Housing Finance Agency for the receipt of tax credits totaling $1,250,000.00.

That is what you get when you allow the Legislators to decide the very laws that they themselves will be governed by.

“Changes in construction methods have caused US buildings to become perfect petri dishes for mold and bacteria to flourish when water is added. Instead of warning the public and teaching physicians that the buildings were causing illness; in 2003 the US Chamber of Commerce Institute for Legal Reform, a think-tank, and a workers comp physician trade organization mass marketed an unscientific nonsequitor to the courts to disclaim the adverse health effects to stave off liability for financial stakeholders of moldy buildings. Although publicly exposed many times over the years, the deceit lingers in US courts to this very day.” Sharon Noonan Kramer
