NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- After serving fewer than six months, Gov. Bobby Jindal's legislative director is resigning.

Tommy Williams told The Times-Picayune on Sunday that the decision to leave is his and that he's leaving on good terms.

He did not give a reason for his resignation but said he plans to go back to his career as a lobbyist.

Williams' resignation comes at a time of strained relations between Jindal and the Legislature, which adjourned last week from its third session this year.
