Government Accountability Groups Urge House to Strengthen the Office of Congressional Ethics and Make It Permanent

Today, Common Cause and other government accountability groups urged every member of the U.S. House of Representatives to strengthen the independent Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) and make the office permanent. Even if Congress does not codify the OCE into law at this time, the groups stress the importance of maintaining the office’s continued existence and the importance of not weakening it in the 119th Congress. The letter emphasizes overwhelming public support for increased ethics and accountability measures and touts the success of...

Axios: Lawmaker says free bus rides on Election Day are “not fair”

Julia Vaughn, Common Cause Indiana executive director, doesn't think the legislation would have a significant impact on elections or voter turnout, but said it sends a bad message in a state that already struggles with low voter turnout.

"We need to make voting more accessible and convenient to people," she said.

Star-Ledger/NY.Com(사설): 뉴어크가 학교 위원회 선거에 청소년을 포함시킬 때가 왔다

3%가 조금 넘는 참여로, Newark의 학교 위원회 선거는 신선하고 젊은 에너지를 주입할 수 있습니다. 이 학생들에게 의견을 말할 기회를 주면, 그들이 얼마나 많은 일을 할 수 있는지 놀랄지도 모릅니다.

우리는 뉴어크 시의회가 학교 운영위원회 선거의 투표 연령을 낮추는 조례안을 찬성으로 통과시키기를 기대하며, 이 학생들이 기회가 주어졌을 때 무엇을 이룰지 기대합니다.

Today in Sacramento, the head of California Common Cause announced proposals to address the potential problems from things like deepfakes intended to confuse voters. Scott Shafer is joined by Jonathan Mehta Stein, head of Common Cause, to discuss threats posed by technology for this election.

“If I was one of her donors, I wouldn’t want my donations to be paying fines for when she did something wrong,” said Aaron Scherb, senior director of legislative affairs for Common Cause, a nonprofit watchdog organization that filed an initial FEC complaint against Greene. “There’s a little bit of an optics issue.”

The Oregonian: Former OLCC board chair lands pot job

Kate Titus, executive director of Common Cause Oregon, a grassroots, nonpartisan organization that works to strengthen and advance democracy, said Révoal's leap into the industry that he up until recently regulated raises questions.

"Democracies die when we erode ethics norms," she said. "It's not just a matter of following the letter of the law. It's about keeping clear, bright lines between working for the public interest and working for one's own private interest."

오마하 월드 헤럴드: 네브래스카 의회, 필리버스터를 제한하기 위한 새로운 규칙 검토

네브래스카 주 커먼코즈의 대표이사인 게이빈 가이스는 현행 규칙이 선거구 재조정에 대한 균형 잡힌 접근 방식을 보장하는 안전장치 역할을 한다고 말했습니다. 선거구 재조정 과정은 전국적으로 지나친 정치화라는 비판을 받고 있습니다.

Geis는 "위원회 구성원 선정 요소에서 당 등록을 제거하면 사고방식과 관점의 다양성이 부족해져 우리 주의 정치적 풍토를 정확하게 (표현하지 못하는) 왜곡된 대표성이 초래될 수 있습니다."라고 말했습니다.

Los Angeles Times: DWP board members held private contract talks with vendor, prompting ethics questions

Sean McMorris, transparency, ethics and accountability program manager at California Common Cause, questioned why staff, rather than the commissioners, didn’t talk to Ardent.

“If the meeting was to hash out the contract and tell the company that they’re going to vote for them, and what the contract would look like — that sort of thing shouldn’t be happening in a private forum,” he said.

“Even if it’s legal, it doesn’t seem appropriate,” McMorris added.

The Daily Beast: Marjorie Taylor Greene Hit With Federal Fine for Illegal Fundraising

Common Cause, a D.C. watchdog group that, according to its website, works to “ensure that every vote counts, that every eligible voter has an equal say, that our elections represent the will of the people, and that our government is of, by, and for the people,” filed a complaint in May 2021, alleging that Greene violated the “soft money” ban in the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) of 1971 for “soliciting unlimited contributions.”

The group declared that under federal campaign finance law, federal candidates and...

John M. Marion, executive director of Common Cause Rhode Island, said the bill limit might amount to "inside baseball" for the legislature. "But it's incredibly important inside baseball because it affects how representatives are able to represent their constituents," he said.

"When you watch 'School House Rock,' no one says, 'That poor bill sitting on Capitol Hill can only have 14 friends,' " Marion said, referring to a series of educational cartoons that ran on Saturday morning TV in the 1970s and '80s, including "I'm Just A...

“The delegates could write amendments that revoke any of our most cherished rights — like our right to peaceful protest, our freedom of religion, or our right to privacy,” the progressive watchdog group Common Cause warns. Hyperbole? Maybe. The point is we simply don’t know.
