It’s Got to be the Pain Pills....

Senator Mike Ellis has had a bad holiday season. Word is he slipped on some ice and broke a couple of ribs.

So when he joined with the Governor and a bipartisan group of legislators to support a comprehensive ethics reform package, I applauded his efforts.

But now, he seems to be undermining it to promote HIS campaign finance bill. In its original form, it was a pretty good piece of legislation that would go hand-in-hand with the Governor’s ethics reform package nicely. In its current form, he watered it down after the special interests got a hold of it.

The bipartisan ethics package goes a long way to addressing ethical woes at the Capitol. I hope Mike gets fully back on board quickly.

Mike, tell us it’s only the pain pills...
