False Presentation of an Ethics Ordinance - In Jackson County, MO, Of Course
Thu, 2009-03-12 11:44
Every time I check up on Jackson County, MO, I find something more
that's shameful, if that word can be used anymore. This time a blog
sent me to a You
Tube video of the county legislature passing the new ethics
ordinance, which I discussed in a blog entry earlier this
week. Eight minutes of parliamentary procedure and slapping each
other on the back amounts to one simple fact: the change in the
law removing its application to members of the county legislature as
well as to county lawyers is not only ignored, but is baldly
misrepresented.
The acting chair of the legislature (the chair was not present) as well as what appears to be a county attorney both say that the ethics ordinance applies to all employees and elected officials, including the legislature. Although many people in that room must have known that these men were lying, not one said a word. Except in praise of themselves.

You have my attention. You are can be a real resource for victims of corruption in government.
Thank you for carrying the banner of reform. The issue of ethics in government is an increasingly important factor in global decisions making.
Ethics are the nervous system of governments. Much more needs to be studied and discussed on this topic.
Choosing the right direction for America depends on legislation which monitors the natural instincts of mankind. However, therapy is only effective when the patient seeks help.
