Case in point: A bill seeking to add a member to Bossier Levee Board was amended to include a $48,000-per-year pay raise for the head of the New Orleans Levee Board, which is 300 miles away from Bossier. On top of this seemingly puzzling pay raise, the lucky head of the levee board happens to be, coincidentally, a political friend of the chair of the Senate Finance Committee. Hmmm.
