friday 09 november 2007, the alexandria daily town talk printed a piyush press release in which it "announced those louisianians making up the ethics transition advisory council under chair sean reilly of baton rouge and vice chair virginia shehee of shreveport."
two names that jumped off the page because they arent necessarily synonymous with "ethics" (at least as how the word is commonly understood to be defined) was jimmy faircloth and bonnie lemoine.
However, the initial report of the officer or officers investigating a complaint, but not to apply to any followup or subsequent report or investigation, records of the booking of a person as provided in Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure Article 228, records of the issuance of a summons or citation, and records of the filing of a bill of information shall be a public record.additionally, louisiana code of criminal procedure article 228 (ccrp 228) cited within Ls. R.S. 44:3 states in part:
A person is booked by an entry, in a book kept for that purpose, showing his name and address, a list of any property taken from him, the date and time of booking, and the submission of a booking information summary as provided for in Paragraph C of this Article to the person making the entry in the police or jail book. Every jail and police station shall keep a book for the listing of the above information as to each prisoner received. The book and booking information summaries shall always be open for public inspection. ~ emphasis oursfor some mysterious reason the city of pineville doesnt want the public to know who they have arrested and what the charges are.
In the course of representing a client a lawyer shall not knowingly:rule 1.6 "confidentiality of information" states:
(a) make a false statement of material fact or law to a third person; or
(b) fail to disclose a material fact when disclosure is necessary to avoid assisting a criminal or fraudulent act by a client, unless disclosure is prohibited by Rule 1.6.
(a) A lawyer shall not reveal information relating to the representation of a client unless the client gives informed consent, the disclosure is impliedly authorized in order to carry out the representation or the disclosure is permitted by paragraph (b).so rule 1.6 doesnt seem to apply; one would think that when word came out about pineville and their attorney's stance that the police blotter is not a public record contrary to law and common sense, that would have instantly triggered an investigation or several investigations. since this is something that everyone can easily understand -- so where's the media outcry? to borrow a line from eric hufschmid "the controlled u.s. media works with the...criminal network and allows it to flourish by failing to investigate, identify, or report on the companies and individuals involved."
(b) A lawyer may reveal information relating to the representation of a client to the extent the lawyer reasonably believes necessary:
(1) to prevent reasonably certain death or substantial bodily harm;
(2) to prevent the client from committing a crime or fraud that is reasonably certain to result in substantial injury to the financial interests or property of another and in furtherance of which the client has used or is using the lawyer’s services;
(3) to prevent, mitigate or rectify substantial injury to the financial interests or property of another that is reasonably certain to result or has resulted from the client’s commission of a crime or fraud in furtherance of which the client has used the lawyer’s services.
(4) to secure legal advice about the lawyer’s compliance with these Rules;
(5) to establish a claim or defense on behalf of the lawyer in a controversy between the lawyer and the client, to establish a defense to a criminal charge or civil claim against the lawyer based upon conduct in which the client was involved, or to respond to allegations in any proceeding concerning the lawyer’s representation of the client; or
(6) to comply with other law or a court order.
so... hmmmm.Edward "Ned" Deifenthal of Metairie used a number of Limited Liability Corporations (LLCs) under his control to make a series of contributions to Jindal's campaign in late 2006 that came to a grand total of $25,000. He also personally contributed $5,000 to Jindal's campaign. He also contributed $75,000 to the Louisiana Committee for a Republican Majority, as well as a number of Republican campaigns for the Louisiana Legislature. ~ linkunder a piyush "bobby" jindal scam administration you can expect a louisiana style corporatocracy. a government against the middle class and working people. a government by elites and for elites and their business interests.
one of corporatocracy's most important functions is to perpetuate and continually expand and strengthen the system. The lives of those who “make it,” and their accouterments—their mansions, yachts, and private jets—are presented as models to inspire us all to consume, consume, consume. Every opportunity is taken to convince us that purchasing things is our civic duty, that pillaging the earth is good for the economy and therefore serves our higher interests. ~ john perkins "confessions of an economic hitman" preface.
