locally, adopting the state's tough ethics laws would go a long way. Quote:

In 2005, however, after years of embarrassing scandals, the state passed some of the toughest ethics laws in the country. Lobbyist gifts are prohibited, state contractors cannot give to campaigns, ethics training is mandatory for state employees and an ethics board has real power to enforce the laws. New Jersey still has problems, including lax financial disclosure laws and no ban on lawmakers? holding two public jobs, but it is doing much better than New York, which got a D.
