Most Utahns want ethics reforms for legislators

Deseret News:

Three in four Utahns favor reform of ethics laws that affect gift-giving by lobbyists to legislators, conflicts of interest and lawmakers' conversion of campaign funds to personal use, a new Deseret Morning News/KSL-TV poll shows.

But lawmakers say such reforms are unlikely to pass anytime soon.

"House Democrats ran reform packages for years. But with the exception of a few innocuous and ineffective changes, nothing passed," said House Minority Leader Brad King, D-Price.

I think it's worthwhile for Dems to include ethics reforms as one of their issues; however, I do wonder how many voters will be swayed by this issue alone.
