\u00bfHa notado usted la oleada de \u201cesc\u00e1ndalos en los capitolios estatales\u201d en todo el Sur \u00faltimamente?<\/p>

En Virginia, un exgobernador que en su d\u00eda fue considerado como un posible candidato nacional se enfrenta a una pena de prisi\u00f3n tras ser condenado por cargos de corrupci\u00f3n. En Tennessee, un legislador ha sido expulsado de un complejo de oficinas estatales tras acusaciones de que hab\u00eda tenido contacto f\u00edsico inapropiado con funcionarios del gobierno. En Carolina del Sur, el presidente de la C\u00e1mara de Representantes ha sido condenado y obligado a dejar el cargo y hay informes persistentes de una amplia investigaci\u00f3n de corrupci\u00f3n que involucra a varios legisladores estatales. Y en Alabama, el gobernador est\u00e1 luchando contra los pedidos de su dimisi\u00f3n o destituci\u00f3n tras la filtraci\u00f3n de cintas de sus salaces conversaciones telef\u00f3nicas con un ex alto colaborador.<\/p>

Los esc\u00e1ndalos, presentados en Un segmento de Fox News que se emiti\u00f3 el s\u00e1bado<\/a>, son un triste recordatorio de lo que suele ocurrir cuando el poder pol\u00edtico no tiene ning\u00fan control y quienes lo ostentan se sienten libres de poner la ideolog\u00eda o los intereses privados por delante del inter\u00e9s com\u00fan y el bien p\u00fablico. El dinero, el poder y la influencia son una mezcla t\u00f3xica que da a algunos pol\u00edticos la sensaci\u00f3n de estar por encima de la ley o de ser intocables en un \u201cesca\u00f1o seguro\u201d que rara vez ve competencia.<\/p>

Cuando los funcionarios electos empiezan a olvidar que deben rendir cuentas a los ciudadanos que los pusieron en el cargo, tenemos un problema. Una reforma \u00e9tica basada en el sentido com\u00fan ayuda a garantizar que nuestra democracia funcione como se supone que debe hacerlo, creando un entorno pol\u00edtico en el que todos participen, tengan voz, sepan qui\u00e9n est\u00e1 tratando de influir en nuestras opiniones y en nuestros representantes, jueguen limpio y rindan cuentas.   <\/p>

\u00bfC\u00f3mo lo lograremos? En Georgia y otros estados, Common Cause est\u00e1 esforz\u00e1ndose por restablecer la confianza p\u00fablica en el gobierno elevando los est\u00e1ndares \u00e9ticos para los funcionarios p\u00fablicos. Estamos impulsando reformas que generen mayor transparencia en t\u00e9rminos de gasto pol\u00edtico, establezcan l\u00edmites razonables a la cantidad de dinero y otros art\u00edculos de valor que los candidatos y funcionarios electos pueden aceptar, y establezcan mecanismos de cumplimiento razonables para disuadir el mal comportamiento.<\/p>

Tambi\u00e9n estamos impulsando sistemas de financiaci\u00f3n de campa\u00f1as que combinan peque\u00f1as contribuciones de campa\u00f1a de personas individuales con subvenciones de fondos p\u00fablicos para permitir que los candidatos compitan en las elecciones sin depender de grandes sumas de dinero. Y estamos impulsando una serie de medidas para eliminar los obst\u00e1culos a la votaci\u00f3n ampliando los horarios de votaci\u00f3n y a\u00f1adiendo lugares de votaci\u00f3n, as\u00ed como registrando autom\u00e1ticamente a los ciudadanos en l\u00ednea o cuando solicitan licencias de conducir y otros servicios estatales.<\/p>"}}]},"yoast_head":"\nScandals Hit the South -
