You do not currently serve <br /> on any board or commission nor do you have any contracts with the state. The only funds you <br /> receive from the state are your monthly retirement checks. <br /> The Board concluded, and instructed me to inform you, that there are no provisions in the Code <br /> of Governmental Ethics that would prohibit you from supporting or opposing candidates for <br /> political offices. However, you should seek information concerning your question from the <br /> Department of State Civil Service. <br /> This advisory opinion is based solely on the facts as set forth herein. Changes to the facts <br /> presented may result in a different application of the provisions of the Code of Ethics. The <br /> Board issues no opinion as to past conduct or laws other than Code of Governmental Ethics. If <br /> you have any questions, please contact me at(225)219-5600 or(800) 842-6630. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> LO .
