Ethics in 107 pages

36 proposals in 107 pages pretty much guarantees none of them will pass.  Worse, the Legislature will cherry pick one or two of the more innocuous points, and claim "we've adopted some of the Governor's ethics reforms and thank the Governor and the Task Force for their hard work".  It's a hanging curveball the Legislators can ignore right out of the park.

This is reminiscent of the Governor's secret sweeping plan to introduce three strategically placed casinos: plans drawn up without Legislatures input and introduced as a complete and turnkey plan.   So much of a grand plan so that it offends the Legislators' egos, and allows any opposition to damn the entire plan by simply criticizing a few of the ideas which might look nutty.  And, given 107 pages, there must be things nutty.
