LinkLinksOpinion Washington Post Editorial Board: D.C. needs a strong ethics board again By Editor On Mar 21, 2019 Last updated Mar 21, 2019 28 Share WHEN SHE was on the D.C. Council, a notable accomplishment of Muriel E. Bowser (D) was pushing through legislation that established an independent board to investigate and enforce government ethics rules. Members of the new board were sworn into office in 2012 and — under the leadership of former D.C. attorney general Robert J. Spagnoletti, who served as its first chairman — quickly made an impact. Sadly, the board seems to have lost the vigor that gave it such a promising start in changing the landscape of government ethics. Ms. Bowser, now mayor, needs to work with the council to strengthen this critical agency.
