House: Ethics disclosure rules apply to DOT board
The House of Representatives has approved a bill (HB 1242) that would make it clear that state Transportation Board members serve under the same ethics disclosure rules as legislators.
They must file personal disclosure forms. And lobbyists that buy them meals, travel or gifts must file reports on it, said the bill’s sp0nsor, Rep. Mark Hamilton (R-Cumming). Some believed the board members already fell under such rules, but not all thought so and not all board members followed them, Hamilton said.
The bill passed 158-0.

What ethics rules?
What they are passing is weak. How about one of the Town Hall meetings on the subject?
You would think that the “Fair and Balanced” Tea Party members would be all over this. Here is the chance for the Tea Party to finally show us how bipartisan they are.
Call a Town Hall Meeting do some yelling, screaming, and name calling………………..
sic’em, woof, woof, woof!
