Barnes to Press Ethics Code in Texas Senate
Lame duck Lt. Gov. Ben Dames plans a special session push to adopt a strict ethics code for state officials and overhaul Senate rules. The proposal would replace 27 committees with nine year round standing panels and curb seniority, while ethics disclosure would be strengthened. Hobby, the Democratic lieutenant governor nominee, supports the move but opposes a hard seniority system.
