  • House Committee on Ethics: a Brief History of Its Evolution and Jurisdiction
    House Committee on Ethics: A Brief History of Its Evolution and Jurisdiction Updated March 22, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov 98-15 House Committee on Ethics: A Brief History of Its Evolution and Jurisdiction Summary The United States Constitution (Article 1, Section 5, clause 1) provides each House of Congress with the sole authority to establish rules, judge membership requirements, and punish and expel Members. From 1789 to 1967, the House of Representatives dealt with disciplinary action against Members on a case-by-case basis, often forming ad-hoc committees to investigate and make recommendations when acts of wrongdoing were brought to the chamber’s attention. Events of the 1960s, including the investigation of Representative Adam Clayton Powell for alleged misuse of Education and Labor Committee funds, prompted the creation of a permanent ethics committee and the writing of a Code of Conduct for Members, officers, and staff of the House. Begun as a select committee in the 89th Congress (1965-1966), the House created a 12-member panel to “recommend to the House … such … rules or regulations … necessary or desirable to insure proper standards of conduct by Members of the House and by officers and employees of the House, in the performance of their duties and the discharge of their responsibilities.” Acting on the select committee’s recommendations, the House created a permanent Committee on Standards of Official Conduct in the 90th Congress (1967-1968). In the 112th Congress (2011- 2012), the committee was renamed the Committee on Ethics. This report briefly outlines the background of ethics enforcement in the House of Representatives, including the creation of both the Select Committee on Ethics and the Committee on Ethics.

  • January 9, 2009 Local Government Reform
    JANUARY 9, 2009 LOCAL GOVERNMENT REFORM COMMISSION MEMBERS DEBATE MISSION, RESEARCH compiled from Gongwer Some underlying tensions between different governmental entities already were evident during the inaugural meeting of the Commission on Local Government Reform & Collaboration on Monday. The panel is charged with the sensitive and challenging task of recommending ways to streamline Ohio's multi-layered local government system. Underscoring the varied opinions among panelists themselves, they even voiced differences over whether the first order of business should be to focus on devising a mission statement or to launch into research. A resolution by Ohio State University's John Glenn School of Public Affairs to provide research for the Commission became the subject of debate when Ohio Township Association Executive Director Mike Cochran said he was blindsided by the offer. "That's going to cause the greatest amount of disagreement between us - if people are getting communications and having in-depth discussions while leaving some people out," he said. Mr. Cochran said he was concerned that OSU's offer would give academics too much say over the direction of the commission and he endorsed a suggestion from Co-Chairman Troy for the panel to create a mission statement before pursuing research. "A lot of people sitting around this table, myself included, have preconceived ideas," he said. "I think we need to have a heart- to-heart among ourselves." Former House member Larry Wolpert, who co-authored implementing legislation, said the University previously had expressed interest in assisting the panel in its work and was reaching out to other state institutions to get involved in the effort.

  • The FBI Investigated Missing Money from Chabot's Campaign After His Campaign Could Not Account for More Than $120,000. On
    The FBI investigated missing money from Chabot’s campaign after his campaign could not account for more than $120,000. On top of that, Chabot has used his political organization to enrich his family. But when it comes to helping your family pay the bills, Chabot has voted 15 times to increase health care costs and take away protections for people with pre-existing conditions in Ohio, like asthma, cancer and diabetes.
