ShareEthics review panel to meet
The Associated PressA new ethics panel of seven state senators will be meeting to discuss more potential changes to tighten ethics rules for lawmakers.
The panel is set to meet on Friday in Annapolis.
The panel already is supporting legislation to post Maryland lawmakers' financial disclosure statements online.
The proposal would require legislators and state employees with cabinet-level positions to file their disclosure forms electronically and have those forms listed on the Internet by July 2013.
Thousands of other employees who deal with public policy would have their filings listed online by July 2015.
