Brown dials up ethics help for council

From the office of the man trying to rebuild a political image that has been hit hard by a “fully-loaded” SUV-leasing scandal comes this notice from D.C. Council Chairman Kwame Brown:

“As part of the ongoing effort by Chairman Kwame R. Brown to bring greater transparency and accountability to the Council, Chairman Brown announced [Wednesday] a novel partnership with the Georgetown University Public Policy Institute. GPPI will make recommendations regarding the best means by which the Council can stay within the boundaries of ethics rules, and to review the effectiveness of the Office of Policy Analysis for the Council of the District of Columbia.”
