Ethics Commission says no go to trash talk A garbage disposal company had a job for State Rep. Ron Reagan, 52, of Bradenton: work part time polishing the company's image "through creative uses of the news media." Reagan asked the state Ethics Commission if it would be okay. No way, the staff concluded (after initially coming to the opposite conclusion).

Reagan, recently re-elected without opposition to a third term, is chairman of the House Ethics and Elections Committee and on gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist's ethics policy council.
