From oanow.com:
When voters went to the polls in November and dramatically changed the make-up of the Alabama Legislature, they signaled a demand to change the way Montgomery does business and a desire to end the political scandals and embarrassing headlines that have plagued our state for the past several years.
We heard their message, and, this week, legislators stepped up to the plate and passed more reform in just seven days than was approved in many previous decades combined. Our ethics laws, which were among the worst in the nation, are now first in the nation. In fact, Alabama Ethics Commission Director Jim Sumner has stated that we now have a “platinum” package of guidelines.
