Anytime you hear the term "ethics reform" in Springfield, you need to watch for the power-grab.
The last "ethics reform" that was passed only served to consolidate the political power into the hands of those at the top. Unfortunately, those who are writing these bills also know the many loopholes and how to get around them.
We need a system that takes power away from those individuals at the top of the political kingdom and puts that power in the hands of the citizens who elect each of us.
True ethics reform will only occur when those in power give up some of that power in order to benefit the greater good.
