re: John Kennedy 'appalled' by LSU coach Ed Orgeron's appearance at governor's fundraiser

I haven’t lived in Louisiana in awhile, but are there laws about state employees publicly being a part of campaign events (not supporting a candidate in general but official campaign events & promotions or Ads)?

Also wondering in context over what power the Governor position has over LSU and Board of Supervisors that outside of an untouchable coach like Saban a Governor has too much say in either helping a friend keep a coaching job with a big contract that can donate or pushing a foe out of a coaching job with a big contract that didn’t donate.

I know we are not in the age of Huey Long, but any coach getting involved in a Governor’s campaign event right after getting contract extension & increased guarantee approved by a Board partially appointed by said Governor still can get taken the wrong way. Politics have been a thorn in LSU’s side for too long. If he had been supporting a candidate in a different state or even Presidential it would look like less of a conflict of interest. I am surprised Edwards even wanted him there for that very reason. As for Orgeron the more comfortable he is in his job security the more likely he is to do something wrong. It seemed like a bad idea for both.
