Georgia's new ethics law not as strong as Alabama's law

The Times-Herald:
"The head of nonpartisan civics watchdog group Common Cause Georgia compares the ethics bill passed by Georgia's 2010 General Assembly to the one approved by its counterpart in Alabama. And a striking difference, notes Bill Bozarth, is that two of the most significant changes enacted in Alabama -- both pushed by Common Cause as well as by some lawmakers in both parties -- never made it into Georgia's bill."
