Ethics or Taxes

Tom Campbell at NC Spin has an interesting alternative to my Perdue Comeback Plan.
 
I suggested she gamble on tax reform. Tom suggests ethics reform.
 
He’s right. She should. But I doubt that gets her far enough. 
  • Cynical voters will never believe the stable has been cleaned up.
  • For good reason.
  • Pass a tax reform bill, and you’ve done something. How do you measure when you’ve done ethics reform?
 So how about a two-part plan, Governor? Tax reform and ethics reform.
 
Run for reelection as a “Reformer With Results.”
