Gov. Bobby Jindal fired a state worker one day after she publicly condemned his plans to privatize state services. He claimed she was terminated for poor performance in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, years ago.

Louisiana Democratic Party Chairman Chris Whittington has launched an investigation into the incident.

Melody Teague criticized Jindal during a forum held by the Commission for Streamlining Government. Soon after, the contract grants reviewer was told she was fired for her handling of the state's disaster food stamps program four years ago, in the aftermath of Huricane Katrina.

According to The Advocate, Commission member Leonal Hardman believes that Teague was "unfairly targeted because she spoke out publicly at the streamlining forum."

    • I'd like to point out the error in the article.
      I believe the author inadvertently used the word 'ethics' and 'Republican' in the same sentence, an automatic oxymoron regardless of context.

      The Republican Party has long been an ethics-free zone. The Democratic Party is not far behind.

    • Jindal is a typical Republican, all mouth and no substance.....Brains appears to be a deficit, in the Republican Party....They are challenged by honesty, integrity, truthfulness, and commitment to their constituency......Big Business, has and will always come first.
