Coming up on 7 years of Jindal administration and this is the first indication of any sort of corruption

The dude controls the Board of Ethics and uses it as a political tool to punish enemies.

This looks like a rouge guy who was corrupt before he got into the office, and Jindal is guilty of trying to rush privatization through, and didn't pay close enough attention to the fact that he was hiring a fraud.

That's such bullshite. Back when they first started working on this, some legislators tried to call them out on the conflict of interest and warned people this exact thing would happen -but the Jindal administration squashed all dissenters and steamrolled over the legislature.

The jindal administration actually refused to answer any questions about the contracts before they declared a winner because it was understood that Greenstein was going to rig the contract to favor his friends. They used "executive privilege" to keep everyone out. Another thing Jindal does is to wait until legislature is out before making appointments and making sweeping changes. This keeps pesky legislative oversight out of the mix.
