Will this be the year for ethics reform?

There are going to be a lot of ethics bills to watch this session.
In the past, that has been used as an excuse to pass nothing.

If we don't hold their toes to the fire, we will find ourselves
in our perennial position; "hoping" for better next time.

There is no legitimate agenda that does not move forward
on the day that government becomes transparently accountable
to the people.

There is going to be a rally supporting transparently accountable
government. If enough people attend that rally, there will be a
order of business in the Roundhouse.

Instead of being a national laughingstock, we could be a model
of transparent accountability in government.

If enough people stand up on the Roundhouse steps
next Tuesday morning, at 11am we can end the "hoping"
for reform, by demanding it. We can let politicians and
public servants know that we expect them to end the
culture of corruption and incompetence in state government,
at once, and for all.



Rep Janice Arnold-Jones
has given you a time, a day, and
a place, to stand up and regain
control over power and resources
that are fundamentally your own.

There may not come another.





By twelve noon, it could be a whole new ballgame.
