Louisiana Governor Criticized For State Travel To Worship In Various Churches

Yesterday, Americans United issued a release strongly criticizing Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal for traveling in State Police helicopters a dozen times to worship in churches in northern Louisiana. A long article last week in the Advocate discloses that Jindal ran up extensive costs for the state by using the helicopters for various kinds of trips, including those that involved worshiping in churches around the state. Those church visits, largely unadvertised, are coupled with visits to local officials. At one church, Jindal spoke, sharing a message of Christian faith with the congregation.
