AUGUSTA -- The Maine ethics commission is scheduled to meet Thursday to discuss what will happen if there's not enough public money to fund all Clean Election candidates who qualify, but it may be a contingency plan that's unnecessary if not enough candidates qualify for the funding. Nine of the 23 candidates for governor in 2010 have indicated they are seeking public funding, though none had qualified, as of Wednesday. Concerns about insufficient funding in the public money account were prompted by the number of gubernatorial hopefuls, though historically about 80 percent of candidates running for the Legislature also use clean election funding.
JACKSON - Democrat John Arthur Eaves Jr. says if he's elected governor, he wants to expand Mississippi's ethics laws to cover more people under the definition of financial conflicts of interest.

Eaves said he wants to expand that to include relatives such as cousins.

They may collect millions of dollars from area residents in fees, but the operators of the region's busiest license offices -- called deputy registrars -- say how they spend money running their offices is none of the public's business. Efforts to privatize Ohio government functions to cut costs could increase the number of private agencies that look and sound like government offices but claim to fall outside the state's public accountability laws. An attempt by the Dayton Daily News to get copies of records that would show how the local deputy registrar offices spend the public fees they collect was rejected by local operators of the largest license bureaus, as well as by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles. State BMV officials say Ohio's public records laws do not require local BMV contr...
