The best idea I've seen in years....

Body cameras for cops are common. Now Illinois lawmaker wants them for elected officials

ROCKFORD, Ill. • A Republican in the Illinois General Assembly says all elected officials in the state should be required to wear body cameras while conducting government business.
Rep. John Cabello of Machesney Park tells the Register Star in Rockford the intent of the bill he introduced is to reduce corruption at the state and local levels.

He points to corruption of public officials in Chicago and state lawmakers getting into trouble "with bribes and so on and so forth."
House Bill 3447 would direct the State Board of Elections to develop rules for the use of body cameras by state officials.

LOL. That's an interesting idea, but I'm not so sure that I support it.

And at some point they will put body cameras on us too.

I'd go one step further and have all activity by elected representatives live-streamed.  Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

That house bill would go down so quick in defeat, just like term limits.

DC is a symptom, not the cause. The cause is basic voter stupidity and economic ignorance.

The other day I was saying that any legislator attempting to introduce legislation into Congress should be required to submit to a 30 minute ( or longer) public Q and A on the legislation, open to the public and officially entered into the Congressional record. If a representative refuses, they can't introduce or sponsor the legislation

That would be fun to watch the pols squirm trying to get out of the q & a and answering the questions.

All their dirty dealings would just take place during off hours then.  There's always a work-around.

Yeah, everyone would have "private time" during the day with cameras off.
