The Indy Star Editorial page comes out swinging against the legislature’s weak ethics rules. What set them off was Michele McNeil’s article in their paper disclosing all too comfy arrangements between Senator Drozda, Representative Frizzell, and Centaur Inc. (a gambling outfit.) (My two cents worth here). I really like their lead:
If the average Hoosier taxpayer were dropped off at work every morning by a limousine owned by his company’s competitor, and was handed a satchel by the chauffeur, his boss might ask him to search his soul as to whether this might influence his performance. Right. More likely he’d be looking for a new job. And if he wanted a code of ethics that allowed him to do business as usual, he might apply at the Indiana General Assembly.
