Ethics

I recently filled out a survey on ethics that the League of Women Voters, Common Cause, and Wisconsin Democracy Campaign teamed up to present. You should be seeing it in the local papers this week and hearing about it on the radio stations locally as well.

Not surprisingly, Gabe Loeffelholz didn't take the time to address the issue. You'd think being a member of the Jensen 20 would be an incentive for him to want to address the issue of campaign corruption. http://www.wisdc.org/blog/2006/08/ethics-and-jensen-20.html

This gives you a synopsis of the Jensen trial and those whose campaigns were involved in the dirty deeds. Mr. Loeffelholz makes the list. http://homepage.mac.com/oscura/ctd/docs/032206aphahnjemsen.pdf




That's what happens when you blindly follow party leadership. You get lead astray. Whether it is in matters of ethics, policy, or information, the people in the districts pay the price when elected officials choose to put the blinders on and loyally bow to the whims of party leadership rather than thinking and speaking for their constituents.

I think we've had enough of that, don't you?
