It's interesting that NOW is the time Gillmor and Watanabe want an IEC. Not when they had majority; Not when they had their own voting bloc, FOR YEARS, mind you. I guess NOW it's considered unethical to vote the same as another council member. What a concept! You know what's really unethical? Stacking commissions with people who are obedient to one Mayor.

If ever a city needed an Independent Ethics Commission, Santa Clara is that city.
