Report on Annual Reports III

There's a national local government annual ethics report that is worthwhile taking a look at. It comes from the International City/County Management Association (ICMA), the professional organization of city, county, and town managers. To my knowledge, no other local government executive or legislative professional organization allows ethics complaints to be brought against its members and enforces its code.

Its annual report on its ethics program can be found by clicking at the bottom of the ICMA Program Highlights page. The report details the conduct that led to censures against members during 2007, as well as looking at a variety of current ethics issues relevant to managers as well as to other local government officials and employees.
