(AP) — California lawmakers marked the end of the legislative session early Saturday by approving two political reform bills aimed at addressing a string of scandals, including the arrest of two state senators on federal corruption charges. Hill's original proposal was more sweeping, including capping annual travel expenses paid by donors at $5,000 and banning the use of campaign money to pay the legal costs that accrue from fighting criminal charges. Other ethics proposals introduced following the scandals failed this session, including a bill creating whistleblower protections for legislative staff and a fundraising blackout during budget negotiations and key votes.
