Thumbs up to ethics reform
Congress has been corrupted for quite a long time. While providing goods and services to its citizens, it also is not 100% just and fair. The ethics reform bill will help to put an end to biased opinions and draw out decisions purely based on morals. The bill probably won't completely stop corruption, but it will definite reduce it. Lobbyists should have to rely on common facts and means of persuasion without using money or other "gifts", which is exactly the way it should be. Capuano does have a thankless job, not in the eyes of the whole country but in the eyes of congressmen who want their "presents" from lobbyists. Many have gotten used to the idea of getting goodies for what they do. Now they will get nothing. But overall, Capuano is forcing our country in a positive direction.
