The State House continues to underestimate the depth of its ethical quagmire.  A few of the current problems:

• Two Sentators indicted this year
• House Speaker DiMasi who won’t turn over documents to the Ethics Commission
• Waiting for one or more State Representatives to be indicted in the Dejavu affair

Last week the state held an orientation for the newly-elected state reps and senators.  Ethical content: one hour, with zero reference to the current ethical controversies.

There’s only one interpretation: they don’t think there is an ethical problem.
