Huntsman Hopes To Force Ethics Reform

None by Eric Ray

(KCPW News) Governor Jon Huntsman Junior has decided to continue his fight for Ethics Reform in 2007. During last night's State of the State Address, Huntsman said ethics and integrity should be required in all branches of government, and he asked for a complete ban on gifts to any Executive Branch employee.

Furthermore, Huntsman will prohibit nepotism in hiring and contracting within all Executive Branch departments. The Governor also has enacted what he calls a quote "two-year cooling off period" before state employees can lobby their previous places of work.
