The report comes just a couple of days after an ethics panel cleared Jones to take the job, provided he does not represent the company in the state. Louisiana’s ethics laws mandate that people who led agencies cannot represent a company seeking to do business with the same agency in the state for two years.
The issue came up for discussion at Friday’s state Board of Ethics meeting.
