The truth has always been that the dominant political force in our state does not want real ethics reform. They have crafted "baby-steps" ethics laws that allow them loopholes to freeload food and gifts and also retain their ability to gobble up all the campaign cash they can beg for and maintain elite relationships with lobbyists.
Voters, please remember when you go to the polls, which of your legislators support real ethics and which legislators are enablers of the current imperfect system.
Top notch editorial in this morning's Standard-Examiner, saying everything that needs to be said, in the wake of this week's Utah Supreme Court decision in the UEG legislative ethics reform initiative matter, about the current state of Utah legislative ethics:
Bravo, Doug Gibson and the S-E Editorial Board.
