WASHINGTON, Oct. 25 (UPI) -- The U.S. House of Representatives has an uneven record when it comes to monitoring members for alleged ethical lapses, a watchdog group says.
While Reps. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., and Maxine Waters, D-Calif., will have to defend themselves against ethics charges -- Rangel for allegedly failing to disclose income and Waters for ties her husband has to a bank that had business before Congress -- other congressmen with arguably similar shortcomings have not been brought before the House ethics committee, CBS reported Monday.
