Hmmm....What's Missing From This List?

The Star's Steve Kraske reports that embattled House Majority Leader Steve Tilley will propose a "sweeping ethics package" this year.
Tilley proposed a sweeping ethics package that would ban all gifts to lawmakers. The law would also ban lawmakers from immediately becoming lobbyists and prohibit the practice, first employed by [former Speaker Rod] Jetton, of political consulting while in office.
It seems to me that a truly "sweeping" ethics reform package would include a ban on House Majority Leaders co-owning airplanes with lobbyists.
