Ethics and Lobbying Reform Initiatives

On Friday, October 31, 2008, Governor Deval Patrick announced actions aimed at reforming the Commonwealth's ethics, campaign and lobbying rules. Specifically, the Governor intends to file comprehensive ethics, campaign, and lobbying reform legislation developed with the advice of a new bi-partisan task force convened by his Chief Legal Counsel and former federal prosecutor Ben Clements, and will re-file and expand upon legislation that gives local communities more autonomy over local affairs.
