Specifically, Mr. Borne would be prohibited from receiving compensation of any kind, including <br /> but not limited to salary, benefits, or the promise of delayed, future salary payments. As a result <br /> of the Section 1111 C(2)(d)prohibition,Mr.Borne would be required to choose between remaining <br /> an SJB Group employee or a District Board member. Recusal does not remedy the violation of <br /> La. R.S. 42:1111(C)(2)(d). <br /> CONCLUSION <br /> The Board concluded, and instructed me to inform you,that based on the facts presented,the Code <br /> prohibits Robert Borne from maintaining his District membership and employment with SJG <br /> Group, LLC should it decide to submit a response to the RFQ. <br /> This advisory opinion is based solely on the facts as set forth herein. Changes to the facts as <br /> presented may result in a different application of the provisions of the Louisiana Code of <br /> Governmental Ethics. The Board issues no opinion as to past conduct or as to laws other than the <br /> Louisiana Code of Governmental Ethics, the Campaign Finance Disclosure Act, the Lobbyist <br /> Disclosure Act, and the conflict of interest provisions contained in the Louisiana Gaming Control <br /> Law. If you have any questions,please contact me at (800) 842-6630 or(225) 219-5600. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> LOUISIANA BOARD OF ETHICS <br /> LaToya Wjordan <br /> For the Ward <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br /> Docket No.2023-387 <br />
