Nebraska Examiner: 'Partisan balance' na mga kinakailangan sa mga komisyon ng estado ay binalewala, sidestepped

Sinabi ni Gavin Geis ng Common Cause Nebraska na nakakadismaya at may kinalaman na ang partisan balance requirement ay binalewala at sidestepped.

"Ito ay inilagay doon para sa isang layunin, kaya mayroon kaming ilang uri ng pagkakaiba-iba ng opinyon at pananaw sa mga tanong ng patakaran," sabi ni Geis. "Ang pagkakaiba-iba ng pag-iisip ay humahantong sa mas mahusay na mga resulta."

"Hindi lahat ay may opinyon ng isang rehistradong Republikano," idinagdag niya. "Tiyak na hindi ito dapat itago."

Associated Press: In the Kansas House, when lobbyists ask for new laws, their names go on the bills

“I’m thrilled to see it,” said Heather Ferguson, a Kansan who is director of operations for the government transparency group Common Cause. “It helps to rebuild some of the trust with the public in their elected officials and in their institutions and in the legislative process in general.”

In some offices and hallways under the Kansas Statehouse’s copper dome, the response to the new practice has been less enthusiastic than Ferguson’s reaction, though lobbyists won’t publicly criticize it. Eric Stafford, who...

Georgia Public Broadcasting/Georgia Recorder: Georgia lawmakers could still tinker with election rules in waning days of 2024 legislative session

Anne Gray Herring, a policy analyst for Common Cause Georgia, said requiring eligible voters to go through this burden of proving their residency is not a trivial thing.

Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Money, legal threats, power: A lawmaker-led firm’s ascent

Donations such as those from Talitrix and others with ties to the company are a relatively common practice for those who seek to influence public officials, but it’s concerning, said Aunna Dennis, executive director of the Georgia chapter of Common Cause, a government and ethics watchdog group.

The current limit for county politicians is $3,300 for primary and general elections. Donating through related entities and family members helps skirt Georgia’s limits on individual giving, Dennis said.

Bagong Ulat: Unang 15 Taon ng Office of Congressional Ethics – Mga Tagumpay, Kaligtasan at Mga Rekomendasyon

Habang minarkahan ng Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) ang unang 15 taon nito, ang Common Cause ay naglalabas ng, "The Little Engine that Could," isang maikling pagsusuri na sumusuri sa epekto ng watchdog sa House of Representative. Tinitingnan ng ulat ang kasaysayan sa likod ng paglikha ng OCE, ang matagumpay nitong di-partisan na rekord, at ang mga pinakaseryosong pagtatangka ng mga Miyembro ng Kamara na sirain o ganap na alisin ang watchdog. Ang ulat ay nagmumungkahi din ng mga reporma, tulad ng pag-codify sa OCE bilang batas at pagbibigay dito ng kapangyarihan sa subpoena, upang higit pang palakasin ang independyente...

Orlando Sentinel: Florida ethics overhaul will leave corruption unchecked, watchdog groups warn

Common Cause Florida and eight other advocacy groups are urging DeSantis to veto the bill, which they say would erect an “unreasonable barrier” and deter people from filing ethics complaints against politicians and public officials. For instance, complaints could not be filed based solely on investigative news articles.

“This isn’t about minimizing frivolous complaints; this is about making complaints almost impossible,” Amy Keith, executive director of Common Cause Florida, said in a prepared statement. “The people...

“It could all explode,” he said.

The April 2 primary ballot in Wisconsin will ask voters to decide on two proposed constitutional amendments that critics contend are byproducts of conspiracy theories touted by election deniers.

Minnesota Reformer (Op-Ed): Minnesota needs an independent citizen redistricting commission

Until we pass a constitutional amendment creating an independent redistricting commission, the power will always reside with partisan interests of those drawing our district voting maps. It’s time for us to get the power back. Reforms should come from us, impacted Minnesotans, not legislative or party establishment.
