An Ethics Reform Online Presentation
The Missouri Ethics Commission has put up <a href="http://www.mec.mo.gov/WebDocs/Training/SB844Overview/index.htm" target="”_blank”">a
nice slideshow-with-audio presentation</a> on the many <a href="http://www.mec.mo.gov/EthicsWeb/Feature.aspx" target="”_blank”">changes made</a>
to its ethics and campaign finance laws in <a href="http://www.senate.mo.gov/10info/pdf-bill/tat/SB844.pdf" target="”_blank”">Senate
Bill 844</a> (it used Adobe Presenter software, but there are likely
other alternatives). It's a good way to do reform-specific training.<br>
<br>
But, as the presentation states, it is incomplete. In fact, of the four
new provisions I focused on in <a href="http://www.cityethics.org/content/some-questionable-missouri-ethics-ref…
recent blog post,</a> only two of them are mentioned in the
presentation. De novo judicial review of EC decisions is one provision
not mentioned. The other, although important, is specific to EC members
and staff.<br>
