[edit] GOP chief seeks records of Jindal critic

"A battle over open records laws expanded beyond the Legislature with the state Republican Party chairman requesting numerous records from a Democratic lawmaker critical of Gov. Bobby Jindal.

The Republican governor's administration on Wednesday helped squelch laws that backers said would make the workings of the governor's office more transparent. One would have made many public officials, including the governor, gather and include in a single report information on people they appointed to government positions who also gave them campaign contributions; the other was designed to make governor's office records subject to the same scrutiny as those of other public officials."
