D.C. ethics board considers city government-wide code of conduct

“It would be very helpful to have a centralized place for all of these various rules and regulations,” Robert Spagnoletti, chairman of the D.C. Board of Ethics and Government Accountability, told The Washington Examiner. “It is unwieldy to have nine different places to look.”
