Mr. Murphy Painter was appointed to serve as commissioner of the Louisiana Office of Alcohol and Tobacco by Governor Foster.

He went astray of Governor Jindal when Jindal's cronies wanted an alcohol permit in Tom Benson's Champion Square development in the Benson Tower Jindal "sold" to Benson.( Jindal then had the state lease offices from him--some at twice the rate the state had been paying to office the employees that moved in.) Well the permit applications were not in order and were denied. Jindal didn't like this and although Painter was clearly right Jindal decided Painter had to get out of the way so he was accused of improperly performing background checks and fired. He was even indicted.

The jury obviously felt the charges were improper and acquitted him. Today the State paid Mr. Painter $300,000 in legal fees and back pay.

John White should pay attention to this tactic Jindal employed against Painter. The man will ruin you to get results he wants.

I haven't been that active here lately, and I don't live in LA anymore, but damn you seem to have a hardon for Jindal.

I always enjoy your posts. I wish everyone were as interested in holding public servants accountable.

Hasnt Jindal done really good things for LA's economy?

Attracting new companies, new jobs, etc?

Isn't Murphy Painter the guy who was stalking one of his former subordinates to the point where she had to get a restraining order on him, used his computer and background check powers to spy on several women, including Mrs Jindal?

Yep, he's an innocent alright.

Jindal is such a pathetic loser. He put his political aspirations before his actual governing job and flamed out spectacularly at both.

Interesting the defense of Jindal on here.

if this were Obama there would be a 40 page thread about it with all sorts of inane melodrama.
