“Code of ethics” ??? Begs the question (at least to me)…

Does Wayne think its unethical to tape and display county leg. meetings, from a good vantage point, so the public can see for themselves how these meetings are conducted?

Nice write-up guys. Its not surprising that the GOP would want to hind what goes on in the Legislature. I think the only way they stay in power is keeping their ethically challenged ways hidden behind closed doors and shielded by a lazy press.
