CREW hasn't been keen on the proposals from the House Task Force on ethics reform -- far from it.  But even that is proving too much for House members on both sides of the aisle.  More "fixes" are being suggested and that can't be good: 

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) worked to salvage plans for an independent ethics office Monday, seeking to win over a Democratic Caucus that has shown itself to be cool to the idea of more scrutiny of members’ activities.

Rep. Michael Capuano (D-Mass.), the author of the proposal, floated a batch of fixes in response to the many complaints that stalled the measure last week, while Pelosi announced that she plans another vote “soon.” Capuano said “every indication” points to a vote Thursday.
