TU: Jacksonville council plan: Shorter leash for Ethics Commission

Well, the worst has happened.  The city council voted themselves in charge of selecting members for the ethics commission and giving the mayor a choice and approval for the director as well.  This basically ends any real prospect of a true ethics commission at all since we now have the wolves in charge of the hen house, and I fully expect to see them seat their friends and companions on the commission to stop anything meaningful from being unconvered or pursued.  People must stand up to this, and I would wonder we don't all write to our state ethics officials and complain that they are trying to overturn this commission (which they never wanted to start with..........gee I wonder why???).   There must be something we can do to roll this back and the means needs to be found.  Here is the article in the TU.

This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
