With the two major parties looking as though they have chosen their nominees for president, I'm going to use this blog in the coming months to write about their stances and histories on open government issues.

But we start today not with John McCain or Barack Obama. The Baton Rouge (La.) Advocate on Thursday has an article about how Gov. Bobby Jindal helped sink open records reform in the Bayou State.

Jindal has been discussed as a running mate for McCain. Jindal (Seen above in camoflauge as apparently he likes to hide himself, too.) has says he wants more transparency in Louisiana government, The Advocate reports, but favors a bill in the state legislature which would seal more records in the governor's office.
