Despite a series of political scandals that marred the California state Senate this year, Gov. Jerry Brown said Tuesday he had vetoed key ethics bills seeking to place new restrictions on gift giving and campaign spending.
The Democratic governor said politicians should be subject to campaign finance rules, but the general activities addressed in the bills already are subject to regulation and disclosure.
The political ethics bills originated in the state Senate, where lawmakers have been under a cloud after federal agents arrested two Democrats in unrelated corruption cases.

I’ll bet that the only reason the Rat controlled state senate and state house passed the bill is because they had a backroom deal where Gov Moonbeam would veto it and give them cover.
I guess since the majority of politicians in California are democrats moonbeam has to protect them.
Democrats and ethics= oxymoron!
Freegards
Lex
Carry on, Shrimp Boy!
He’s a Rat
Rat’s gotta do what Rat’s Do...
I do not respect them. They are corrupt, greedy night crawlers. Why should I obey their immoral laws?
Ethics legislation to a true democrat is like Holy Water to the Devil!
Because they have the power and desire to punish the hell out of you if you don't. Remember the quote attributed to George Washington:
"Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."
The only way to take back California from the fascists and commies is to resurrect the 1867 Reconstruction Act. In a nutshell, that means:
1. Appointing a military governor.
2. Sending in a division of troops.
3. Arresting prominent leftist politicians for treason.
4. Holding trials and hanging those found guilty by a military tribunal.
5. Giving the remaining traitors 24 hours to leave America.
‘Because they have the power and desire to punish the hell out of you if you don’t. “
Complete BS. What makes you think that a bunch of fat, federal bureaucratic slobs have the martial skills? Do this: Walk thru any federal office - IRS, Welfare, Forest service - and then come back and tell us how comfortable you’d be as a general leading these fat, 50 IQ slobs onto a battlefield.
THERE it is!

LOL! Martial skills? Why get physical when you have the power to fine lawbreakers and imprison them? Try ignoring a jury duty summons or don’t pay your property taxes. You’ll learn about punishment.
LOL! Try reading the Declaration of Independence and its aftermath.
You're right, just take a look at the list of Dem crooks that had to lawyer up big time in the past year.
Wow. This could be a "wealth redistribution plan" that I would support!
