Pelosi: Ethics reform first order of business
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- On the campaign trail this fall, House Speaker-designate Nancy Pelosi, D-California, said "maybe it takes a woman to clean house."

Now, Pelosi has vowed to places ethics reform on the top of the Democratic agenda when the party takes control of the chamber in January.

"The People's House should not be an auction house, with legislation being sold to the highest bidder," Pelosi said Monday in a statement. "For that reason, the first order of business will be ethics reform."

Pelosi announced last week the 110th congress will commence on January 4th , 2007
