Hogan Proposes Ethics Bill Citing Recent Political Corruption

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WJZ) — Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan has proposed a new ethics bill, calling on state lawmakers to hold themselves accountable.
The bill would increase fines for bribery by 1,000 percent, eliminate taxpayer-funded pensions for convicted lawmakers and would add direct intervention by the ethics commission.
The bill comes after two delegates — Tawanna Gaines and Cheryl Glenn — resigned last year after being indicted for bribery.
