Good-government watchdogs are backing away from a proposed overhaul of state ethics laws.
The non-partisan League of Women Voters of Wisconsin announced this morning it was withdrawing its support and Common Cause in Wisconsin urged that the measure be taken off the “fast track and repaired.”
“It has become clear that the bill has serious flaws which make it unacceptable despite multiple redrafts,” the league wrote in a memo to the Assembly Committee on Judiciary and Ethics and the Senate Committee on Campaign Finance Reform and Ethics.
