Behind the scenes at House ethics committees
Listen:6:00 a.m. | Kitty Felde | KPCC | 0 comments
Last month, the committee that serves as the "ethics cop" for the House of Representatives launched new investigations. It's checking into several members of Congress - including Long Beach's Laura Richardson and L.A.'s Maxine Waters. The Richardson case involves a house that was in foreclosure. The Waters case involves federal bailout money and an L.A. bank. KPCC's Washington Correspondent Kitty Felde closes her series on ethics in Congress with a look at the secretive committee that will decide whether Richardson and Waters broke any rules.

New Yorker writer Hendrik Hertzberg talks about his new book OBAMANOS!:The End of a Political Era; and a federal judge says the army corps of engineers is responsible for the deadly flooding during Hurricane Katrina. The liability could be tremendous and it could alter the way government agencies do their work – or don't do it.

Tender Greens
Tender Greens is like your favorite rock band where you want to keep it a secret but also hope for tremendous success. And successful it is. Healthy and tasty salads and veggies, lean cuts of steak, chicken and tuna all served up in a 'fast food' style and price tag - but in a much better environment and quality. The flatiron angus steak with Yukon Gold potatoes top out my list. I also love to get the line caught ahi tuna with a baby spinach and goat cheese salad - quite tasty when I'm shooting for lighter fare. Makes for a nice and not-too-expensive dinner, and an excellent lunch as well.
