Ethics Commission <br /> Advisory Opinion No. 229 <br /> R Page 7 <br /> • <br /> Code are and should remain applicable to all persons who are designated or <br /> "appointed" to discharge advisory, administrative and other programmatic <br /> responsibilities of a governmental entity, whether those persons serve by <br /> virtue of employment, contract, or volunteer appointment. <br /> In this case, however, it is not only difficult, but Impossible for <br /> the Commission to construe the definition of "public employee" so broadly as <br /> to include persons designated to assist a successful candidate for public <br /> office who is not yet holding the office to which he was elected. The <br /> Commission reaffirms the earlier opinions it rendered with respect to the <br /> Special Council on Governmental Review and Efficiency and the Conittee of One <br /> Hundred, but notes that those opinions will not be applicable to persons <br /> designated by Mr. Roemer to serve as his advisors, on a volunteer basis or <br /> • otherwise, until he is Governor of the State of Louisiana. <br /> s /Victor Bussie s /Edward T.
