Bobby "The Exorcist" Jindal under investigation
State officials probe Jindal blog

State officials are looking into a complaint that the Jindal administration is breaking the law by using taxpayer money to publish an Internet blog.

At issue is whether “The Ledger” is purely informational or rises to political commentary.

In his correspondence to state and local officials, Adley included a list of laws that he believes the blog violates, including one punishable by jail time.

He cited laws that draw a line between public funds and politics, such as a statute prohibiting state employees from lobbying the Legislature.

1. I don't doubt it--among AZ RRReps, that's SOP. Our gov, state school superintendent,
county prosecutor--and of course, our "beloved" Sheriff Joe Arpaio all do it.

Most of 'em run TV ads as well.
