(12/18/09) WPUSA successful in opposition to politically targeted “ethics reforms”
Working Partnerships USA won an important victory the week of December 13th for open, ethical city government.
San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed proposed a package of “ethics reforms” that drew widespread community opposition because they were perceived as an effort to silence political dissent. As the San Jose Mercury News editorial stated, “The appearance of a politicized ethics review isn’t healthy for San Jose.”
The San Jose City Council voted to remove Mayor Chuck Reed from his Biennial Ethics Reform Panel and then sent six of his nine ethics reform proposals back to that panel and the Elections Commission for further consideration.
