FLASHPOINT for Dec 03, 2006

You have to give Craig Walton credit. The local ethics maven said he would come up with some thoughtful proposals for the 2007 Legislature, and he has. LLCs have to disclose partners when contributing. Lobbyists have to disclose more. Close loopholes in ethics laws. This is going to be some spectacle watching the Gang of 63, whose members love lobbyists and loopholes, deal with this issue. This is especially true after a year in which corruption was a huge issue nationally and we are still suffering from an acute G-Sting hangover. I can't wait to watch the contortions, the excuses, the explanations, the writhing. It will almost make it worthwhile spending some time in Carson City during the winter. Almost.
