[quote=jsteele]You are closer to her than I am, so what is your feeling about her intellectual heft? I've always thought she was very nice and she has proven to be a hard worker. I really can't complain about constituent services. But, from what I've seen from a bit of a distance, her reputation as an empty suit is not undeserved. Her major legislative achievement has been the ethics bill which seems to be deeply flawed. The ethics board it created is already requesting more power. It didn't cover campaign finance at all. She likes to criticize Gray for moving too slow, but look how she dealt with campaign finance -- slow walked it until it became someone else's problem. Also, only in DC can accepting multiple contributions from LLCs controlled by the same individuals and having Walmart's lobbyist as your major fundraiser -- while getting two Walmarts in your ward -- be considered "scandal free". No wonder she wasn't too interested in campaign finance reform. [/quote]
