| Description | Candidates from both parties are practically lining up to unveil their ethics proposals in an effort to unseat a governor who promised to be a reformer but has left himself vulnerable to accusations of corruption.
Republican Ron Gidwitz is promising not to accept campaign money for his first two years in office if he's elected. Democrat Edwin Eisendrath did him one better Tuesday, promising no fundraising for three years if he can't pass a major ethics overhaul.
Both of them, along with Republican Jim Oberweis, pledge not to accept any donations as governor from people and companies doing business with the state. And GOP front-runner Judy Baar Topinka says she'll offer a comprehensive ethics plan in coming weeks. |
