House Bill 37 originally dealt with Department of Public Safety and Correction records. But language added to the bill in the Senate by Sen. Robert Adley, R-Benton, requires preservation of governor's office documents regarding the oil spill for at least 10 years as well as making documents open to the public immediately.
Sen. Robert Adley told CBS News that he hopes the legislation will create greater transparency.
"Under current law in Louisiana, certain deliberations can be kept private. But in the case of this catastrophic event, we want it to be very clear for everyone to see how it was handled and how money will be spent. I know the Governor may have some concerns, but the eyes of the world are on Louisiana."

I agree transparency is very important, too bad he won't ask obama be held to the same standard. Perhaps we should have a Senator request that all of barry and michelles pertinent documents be put out for all to see.

Considering he is a lowly state senator, I don't see how him asking Obama to be transparent about anything would be more than a pipe-dream.
And, since he has been introducing government transparency bills for years, I imagine he would support Obama opening his records as well.
Sometimes I wonder if you are just a really angry person who always needs something to bitch about.

No, but I find it pretty hypocritical that he wants Jindals records open, but we aren't privy to the obamas records. Funny how no one on the left is screaming about that.
