Steve Beshear on Government Reform

Democrat


Comprehensive ethics package to restore trust

It is critical that trust and credibility be restored if we're to accomplish anything else. That's why I announced just last week a comprehensive ethics package that includes a Constitutional amendment to limit a Governor's power to pardon. It reduces th Governor's influence in making appointments to the Executive Branch Ethics Commission and requires more disclosure of donations to a public official's legal defense fund while banning lobbyists and those doing business with the State from contributing.
