A Democratic Majority Must Tackle All Corruption

“The 120th Congress is setting up for a collision course on how far to push an ethics agenda meant to signal to voters that lawmakers heard their concerns about corruption in Washington,” the Washington Sun reports.

“On one side of the debate will be longtime members of Congress who will try to placate the hunger for so-called reform with proposals that would limit the owning or trading of stocks by lawmakers, or outright ban the practices.”

“But on the other side will be the dozens and dozens of new members who have aggressively campaigned on a more sweeping agenda and argue a stock ban should merely be an opening act early next year.”
