Degree Program.
Member Frybort stated that he has a minor observation that reflects on our current times.
The Detroit News Editorial page says that the DC Lobbing scandal should lead to ironclad
ethics policy in DC. He said that he has seen these articles before and this one commonly
criticizes the ethics ordinances in the State of Michigan, Macomb and Wayne Counties.
So they have alluded to these weak ethics or nonexistent ethic laws that are around and
we should be happy that no one has derided the Lansing Ethics Ordinances overtime and
hopes that we can continue to be in that category. He said we are kind of ahead of the
curve more than most municipalities.
Vice-Chairperson Folkers stated that on January 23 d he will be having eye surgery.
City Clerk Swope spoke about the upcoming Election for the 23rd District State Senate

So they have alluded to these weak ethics or nonexistent ethic laws that are around and
we should be happy that no one has derided the Lansing Ethics Ordinances overtime and
