Nothing suspicious about that at all. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, however, isn’t even waiting to leave office before hiding his shady dealings:
Top officials in Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal’s administration used personal email accounts to craft a media strategy for imposing hundreds of millions of dollars in Medicaid cuts – a method of communication that can make it more difficult to track under public records laws despite Jindal’s pledge to bring more transparency to state government.
Emails reviewed by The Associated Press reveal that non-state government email addresses were used dozens of times by state officials to communicate last summer about a public relations offensive for making $523 million in health care cuts. Those documents weren’t provided to AP in response to a public records request.
It’s not clear whether Jindal knew his staff was deliberately dodging public scrutiny but it’s seems unlikely he was ignorant of it. This is particularly true since, if Jindal was sincere in his claims of transparency, that ethic would be reflected throughout his administration.
