Ethics

It's that time of year again: state legislatures are returning to their capitals, to the chorus of hosannahs towards ethics reform.

Maine: MAINE'S 123RD LEGISLATURE: New ethics rules should be task No. 1

Wisconsin: Governor Doyle says passing an ethics reform bill will reaffirm the faith of the people in Wisconsin.

Oregon : The first order of business for the 2007 Legislature convening in Salem next week should be to ban the gifts that lobbyists regularly bestow upon them.

New York: Spitzer says state lawmakers need to set aside partisan politics in order to accomplish the ethics and campaign reforms he has targeted for the legislature.

And yet, it will likely all be forgotten by March.
