I am a little pessimistic as to whether or not governor elect Bobby Jindal can change the corrupt culture here in New Orleans. It is so deep rooted and there is no strong incentive to make corrupt individuals stop their behavior.
If they do get caught, they can plea bargain in order to reduce their sentence. Later they are released from prison early and no one can truly say why. ( Remember Glen Haydel). They usually have strong political connections that allow them to do so much harm before they ever serve time. (Remember Henry Dillon). They can give their friends and relatives city contracts that only benefit those friends and relatives. (Remember Marc Morial). So forgive me if I do not have high hopes that things will change.
