Action #10-- This action would reduce the chance that officials might try to hide their assets (and potential conflicts of interest) in a family trust without disclosing. The proposal also requires OGE to study the issue closely.pic.twitter.com/AN4iyqpLAA

Action #11-- Presidential candidates need to be prepared for the fast-moving transition between administrations, so that gaps in leadership don't jeopardize national security. This also gives voters a chance to assess candidates' conflicts of interest.pic.twitter.com/DCHUNLFYQn

Action #12-- This would prevent agencies from pretending that people who serve in government for significant amounts of time are "short-term" employees, which right now lets them take advantage of ethics rule loopholes.pic.twitter.com/TjEYepRnA0

Action #13-- This would prevent incoming officials from accepting large payouts from the companies they are quitting in order to enter government, and then turning around and regulating those same companies.pic.twitter.com/mRj0uCWL8M

Each of these actions can be considered individually or as a whole by Congress. "Each recommendation represents a real opportunity to achieve bipartisan reform to strengthen government
#ethics, which will reinforce the fact that public service is a public trust.” —@waltshaubShow this thread
