Senate Republican Leader Frank Watson called on Governor Blagojevich to sign the current ethics bill into law. Mr. Watson made his appeal to the governor on Thursday, July 31st at a discussion of a state construction plan.
The bill is HB824, the ethics bill that would curb the state's "pay-to-play" political contributions and clean up state government. The measure passed the state legislature overwhelmingly and is now awaiting the governor's signature. Governor Blagojevich did say he would make ethics reform part of a new construction plan.
