Therefore, if the Patterson Housing Authority determines <br /> that each Commissioner who serves on the Patterson Housing Authority Board is duly entitled to <br /> a benefit of a$25 gas card per monthly meeting, it would not violate the Code. <br /> CONCLUSION <br /> The Board concluded, and instructed me to inform you, that if the Patterson Housing Authority <br /> makes the $25 gas card a duly entitled benefit, then receipt by the Commissioners would not be <br /> prohibited by the Code. <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.
