Congressional Black Caucus Attempts To Confine The "Office Of Congressional Ethics"

AJC: Jay Bookman: Black Caucus launches effort to repeal major ethics reform


The New York Times is now reporting that 20 members of the Congressional Black Caucus are also expressing unhappiness with the OCE:

A resolution introduced late last week by Representative Marcia L. Fudge, Democrat of Ohio, and co-sponsored by 19 other black caucus members, would prohibit the release of most investigative reports prepared by the Office of Congressional Ethics. It would also prevent the office from initiating its own inquiries, unless a sworn complaint was filed by an individual with personal knowledge of the alleged wrongdoing.
