Smart move in the right direction regarding denying pension benefits to those Senators who commit crimes connected to their service as Senators. Hopefully those in the House will adopt similar rules. Be sure to make both sets of rules "bullet proof". Remember that most of those who represent us are lawyers.
This is a good start item - I'd also like to see substantial rules changes on earmarks. I'm not against earmarks, just against the secrecy of the current process. Place all future earmarks into the light of day. Make sure that earmark sponsorship is made totally transparent. Then be sure to watch for backroom deals - "I'll sponsor your earmarks, if you sponsor mine".
