Revision of Ethics Code Faces Senate Test
Gov McKeithen's administration pushes a crash program to rewrite the ethics code to satisfy the legislature. Sen Jamar Adcock says the revised bill will return to the Senate floor early in the week as the 60 day session moves into its sixth week. House and Senate convene at 10 am Monday amid a slate of actions including a public vote on a 5 mill property tax and a plan for a $50 million foreign trade sub zone in St Charles Parish.
