A Paean to a Local Ethics Commission

It's worth a look at Philadelphia columnist <a href="http://www.philly.com/dailynews/local/20100106_Dave_Davies__Guts___glor…
Davies' last column</a> after twenty-five years on the job. It's
something rarely seen in the local government ethics world: a hymn of
praise to a local ethics commission, which he calls "a watchdog that
isn't afraid to bite."<br>
<br>
He ends his column on Philadelphia's <a href="http://www.phila.gov/ethicsboard/">Board of Ethics</a>: "I say God bless the new ethics posse in town. If
they keep this up, we may finally shed our 'corrupt and contented' tag."<br>
