LinkLinksOpinion Post Editorial Board: Racine’s public corruption division will be a welcome addition to D.C. government By Editor On Apr 19, 2020 Last updated Apr 19, 2020 17 Share Several agencies exist to enforce rules against public corruption in D.C. government, but the results — and we’re being charitable here — have been mixed. The office that is supposed to enforce campaign finance laws lacks any real initiative and tends to be lenient in its treatment of violations. The ethics and government accountability board that started out with such great promise seems to have lost its vigor and sense of mission. And the U.S. attorney’s office that has the clout and authority to crack down on local corruption runs hot and cold as national and international matters compete for its attention. Good, then, that D.C. Attorney General Karl A. Racine has signaled his plans to make this issue a priority. 17 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
