Paper Advises Support of Ethics Bill Unlikely to Be Passed

“Though it is unlikely that it will be acted upon by the current Congress,” The Madison, Wisconsin Capital Times advises Wisconsin’s House members should sign on as co-sponsors of the “genuine federal lobbying reform bill introduced last week by U.S. Reps. Christopher Shays, R-Conn., and Marty Meehan, D-Mass.” in response to recent revelations of lobbying and ethics abuses sweeping Capitol Hill.
“Though it is unlikely that it will be acted upon by the current Congress, Shays-Meehan bill now. Then voters will know in November whether their representatives are part of the problem in Washington or part of the solution.”
Or just part of the game.
