Explanation & Justification
*{These are all variations on a theme. They should be pooled together so the consolidated proposal reflects the true # of votes for this reform. There are some distinctions: some policies did not specify that spouses should be included (which I believe they should be included), some include the Executive Branch, some specify stock types, and some also address lobbying. But they are mostly the same suggestion.
I put what I felt to be the best written policy at the #1 position of this proposal to merge. So #1 should be the ‘parent’ proposal, IMO. }*
