For the first time, the state Ethics commission will be handling campaign disclosures instead of the Secretary of State's elections division office. Why? Well, it's either Republicans taking a cheap shot at Cathy Cox and taking away one of her responsibilities because she's a Democrat, OR, in one of their occasional moments of wisdom, they are pre-emptively removing this power from future Secretary of State Bill Stephens who can't even fill out one of his own reports correctly, much less manage a system that is in charge of everyone's reports.
Well anyway, as of now the website for the Ethics Commission, probably the most pinged site by policital operates in the state today, is currently down. Thanks legislative Republicans!
Update: My bad, I jumped the gun. This is technically the last report of 2005 (even though it's 2006). Ethics will takeover for the first report of 2006. Hopefully their website will work by then, and maybe they will have a new executive secretary seeing as how they fired the last one for being too impartial.

Hmmm ... any smart programmer could write a redirect for this, but -- and I should have remembered earlier, lobbyist that I am -- Ethics puts its web site these days @ http://ethics.georgia.gov/.
