On April 10, Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh announced the formation of a city Ethics Committee.

The committee will review all changes to the city’s Ethics Policy, implement a new Statement of Financial Interest for all city employees, create continuing education programs around ethics issues, and analyze existing practices and procedures.

In his press release, the Mayor said, “The citizens of Boston and those who interact with our government should be absolutely confident that their government is working for them, at the highest ethical standards.”
