Ethics Package Today?
I've been trying to keep up with headlines, though my access to some news outlets is very limited. Is the Legislative Ethics Study Committee (or whatever that joint committee is called) going to vote today on a list of ethics reforms?
I did read that Governor Bredesen has said his intervention might be necessary. I thought that the list of reforms documented by the citizen panel he created was a great start. Why can't the General Assembly recognize the obvious mandate therein, given the panel's makeup and method, and use that package as a template? It's not necessary for them to recreate the wheel.
UPDATE 11/17: There is coverage of the vote by guest bloggers at BillHobbs.com and on Simply I.
