This happens everywhere. There are tens of thousand of state legislators and state officials. Elected officials like many other people have financial problems at home. The difference is that they are held at a higher standard because they hold the public trust.

Under the guise of fact-finding, they're going fishing in the Caribbean.

We will miss him. He brought energy, creativity and vision to our board for the last eight years, as well as a sense of humor.

They're buying face time with the lawmaker. And they're not regular Joe constituents. They're lobbyists with an agenda. It's an opportunity in a nice, picturesque setting to get this kind of intimate access that you wouldn't get if you trooped up to Capitol Hill and knocked on a congressman's door.

The states are way out ahead of Congress on this. This is not some kind of crazed, untested idea. This is going on in the states. ... It's bringing accountability to state government and that's what we need here.

Its time has come on the congressional level too.

We are really disappointed. For Congress to produce any kind of credible reform, they need an enforcement mechanism.

It was about rules that were broken and there was no enforcement for breaking them whatsoever.

Voinovich is a good-government guy. He is an ally with us on a number of issues.

We don't want members of Congress to just sit behind their desks all the time.

The bottom line is that the system is broken and people are pushing against it looking for every single loophole. If you address the heart of the problem with public financing, you wouldn't have this constant end-run around the rules.

This gives them an incredible advantage over their challengers.

Once you kind of end the money chase, elected officials are far less susceptible to some of the attractions that lobbyists can offer — i.e. travel, food, gifts, campaign contributions. Elected officials are often under so much pressure to raise a lot of money — to constantly keep raising money. That's why they have these close ties with lobbyists. Lobbyists help them raise money.

Basically we think it's a pathetic piece of legislation. This does nothing to curb the 'anything goes' culture in Washington.

Congress has kind of proven it's not capable of policing itself.
