GOVERNOR BRUCE RAUNER SIGNED LEGISLATIVE ETHICS REFORMS INTO LAW LAST WEEK…BUT SAYS FURTHER CHANGE IS NEEDED. 

 

 

THE NEW LAW LETS THE OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE INSPECTOR GENERAL LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION INTO ALLEGATIONS OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT WITHOUT HAVING TO FIRST GET APPROVAL FROM THE LEGISLATIVE ETHICS COMMISSION. GOVERNOR RAUNER SAYS NOW THE LAW NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED.

 

 

THE GOVERNOR ALSO SAYS THE COMMISSION SHOULD BE MADE UP OF PRIVATE CITIZENS…NOT LAWMAKERS LOOKING INTO ALLEGATIONS MADE AGAINST THEIR COLLEAGUES.
