Shootin' From The Bushes...

Looks like Rep. Buddy Shaw has written a common sense bill that makes usin’ the ethics board as a shotgun a little harder.
Before, anybody who had an ax to grind against anybody on the public payroll, could make up some charges and send ‘em into the board. The Board would then have to “investigate” the charges.

Here’s where the scam comes in. Once the board’s lawyers started to look into the trumped up charges, the “anonymous” whistle blower reports the investigation to the press and gets his revenge. The innocent target gets smeared.

This little backstabbin’ tactic has been used right here in Cenla on more than one public official that was later found to be totally innocent. Trouble is, the press never says that the charges were a scam to begin with.

Nobody ever knows who the coward is because he filed the complaint anonymously.

Buddy Shaw’s bill, SB 53 makes you sign your name and identify yourself.

Funny thing is that one local lawyer has made himself into a celebrity by shooting from the bushes while he screams about those who post anonymously on local blogs. Naturally, he’s against SB 53. He don’t want anybody poking around in the bushes where he’s hiding.
