Republicans and Democrats alike are calling for ethics reform, particularly that loophole in state law that allows lobbyists to spend as much as they want to entertain lawmakers. This has resulted in such spectacles as a speaker of the House taking his family on a $17,000 junket to Europe with the expenses paid by a lobbyist.
