Ethics reform stalled as House and Senate clash
House appropriations analysts study Wolfe plan to add public members to the Board of Ethics and fund it, noting the agency has never received General Assembly money since 1967. Observers doubt a rubber stamp of a Senate bill if lawmakers resist decisive action. Ogilvie’s ethics package fades amid cross party disapproval, with many preferring the 1967 mild law.
