In the Chicago Tribune:
"Many Democratic House members, as Republicans gleefully point out, are resistant to surrendering the perquisites of power now that they finally enjoy some access to them. In the view of reformers, Democrats have passed the absolute minimum ethics package, and they struggled to do that."
Wow I thought a new sherriff was in town? The only real change in regards to earmarks is that they will now come out in the open as the bill is on the floor for a vote. A little late then. No surprise that they are not delivering what they had promised.
