Republican Senator Robert Adley, from Benton, is taking issue with The Ledger, a state run blog on the state funded louisiana.gov website. Earlier this month Adley delivered a Senate floor speech saying that the blog is a violation of law that prohibits the use of taxpayer money to express political views. WXVT in Greenville has that original story here. Now, State officials have concluded that after further review, they believe it is not in violation of the law as it doesn't ask anyone to vote any particular way. Adley disagrees and says that the choice of which stories and issues get posted clearly shows prejudice and is requesting an outside investigation. The Daily Advertiser has the full story.
