Lansing The Republican and Democratic leaders of the Michigan House revealed a plan Tuesday to institute wide-ranging government ethics reforms, targeting policies that have been ranked worst nationally for transparency.
At least some of the bills are proposing fundamental changes for lobbying and disclosure laws, which have been agreed on by House members on both sides of the aisle. They will be introduced later this week and discussed in committee beginning next week.
If all of them became law, they would alter how Lansing operates, providing additional oversight, de-emphasizing the so-called lame duck period and changing the House process for deciding when bills take effect. Similar reforms have been debated in Michigan for years.

THE WOODLANDS, Texas Last week, when the winter storm left Kimberly Roberson and her kids piled under 20 blankets in a freezing, powerless home in The Woodlands, things went from bad to worse.
First a water pipe burst in her bathroom.
“I got a price of $500, and then they came back and said $400,” said Roberson, who just lost her job a few weeks ago. “And then my sprinkler broke, and it was gushing water, and I didn’t know what to do. I said, ‘Oh, please help me, Lord. Please help me.”
