Louisiana Ethics Board Won’t Pursue Charges Against Legal Counsel for Grambling State Non-Profit Affiliate

Rep. Rick Gallot, a member of the House of Representative and attorney for Grambling State University non-profit affiliate Black and Gold Facilities Inc, won’t face an appeal from the Louisiana Ethics Board for conflict-of-interest charges brought and dropped against him last July.

The board has decided it won’t appeal to the Louisiana Supreme Court an ethics adjudicatory panel decision that the board took too long to prosecute charges against Gallot, a Democrat from Ruston.

An appeals court earlier this month refused a request by the ethics board to review the decision, saying the board doesn’t have the right to appeal under the new system of ethics laws.
