May 22, 2013: Time is running out! Contact Senate Members TODAY on Ethics Reform! We are at a crossroads and need your help to pass ethics reform in 2013. As you may know, H.3945 is currently stalled in the Senate, where it has moved forward with a minority report. As such, no progress has been made and the real threat is that there will be no further movement or passage in 2013. The bill is not perfect, but income disclosure would be more complete, disciplinary decisions would be more transparent, and the existing Ethics Commission would be expanded, and this bill would be a major improvement.

We are asking the Senate to: "Support H.3945 as is and oppose amendments that would weaken reform." Please contact your Senator today. Visit the LWVSC website for more information on this important effort.
