meanwhile, c.b. forgotston asks "what transparency?"
====piyush scam's ethics violation has a redflex connection! redflex scammer charlie buckels is the state republican party treasurer:
Charlie Buckels (Redflex salesman) is the state republican party treasurer and it appears by this article that it would have been his responsibility to notify Jindal of the republican expenses and give Jindal’s people the invoices so Potter could report properly and Buckels’ didn’t – so now Jindal is charged with an ethics violation…………
