Audit: Abstinence program steered money to director's company The former chief of the Louisiana Governor’s Program on Abstinence steered thousands of dollars in contracts to an organization she created, and some of the money was paid to her son, according to an audit released Monday. The report by Legislative Auditor Steve Theriot’s office also says Gail Dignam, who worked for the abstinence program under former Govs. Mike Foster and Kathleen Blanco, improperly took money from an organization that received state contracts from the abstinence program. Both situations seem to violate Louisiana law and run afoul of the state ethics code, according to the audit.
