Apparently some people are above the law

Okay, so it's really nothing new... some people are above the law and we know it, but check out this recent article about a Jackson County, Missouri establishing its first code of ethics... Here are the the highlights:
From The Examiner - The code of ethics will "govern all county business... The order, signed by Executive Mike Sanders, will establish guidelines for county employees." But here comes the interesting part -

"The code will not cover county legislators or other elected county officials.
However, on Monday legislators decided to have staff draft an ordinance that
gives their stamp of approval to the document."

Hmmm. Does that sound right to you? Let's be glad they support it though ; )
