Folks, help me out with this:
The Montgomery Advertiser reported today that Republican gubernatorial candidate Bill Johnson "is going after his former boss again -- this time on ethics.
Johnson, a Republican who was in the administration of Gov. Bob Riley and worked on his campaigns, criticized Riley's ethics reform package as weak."Accountability and ethics reform are certainly needed. My problem with the proposed reform is that it isn't true reform," Johnson said in a release.
I went to Johnson's web site to look for the release. Couldn't find it. But guess what I found instead?
This, under "Issues":
One of the challenges facing Alabama and darkening our image is the steady string of indictments and convictions of public officials. These ethical misconducts not only impact our image globally, but also degrade our own citizens' confidence in government.I support the comprehensive package of ethics reforms that Governor Riley has proposed relative to gifts by lobbyists, disclosure requirements and campaign finance reporting regulations.
I'm confused. Does Johnson support a package that "isn't true reform"? Or is he confused about what he's supporting?
