FILE - In this July 1, 2009 file photo Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick signs an ethics bill at the Statehouse, in Boston as then Attorney General Martha Coakley, and then State Sen. Brian Joyce, D-Milton look on. The bill was designed to prevent a repeat of scandals involving lawmakers by banning lobbyists from giving gifts to state lawmakers, banning lawmakers from accepting gifts, and by sharply increasing the penalty for bribery. Joyce was charged Friday, Dec. 8, 2017, with using his office for personal profit by accepting up to $1 million in bribes and kickbacks and hiding the money in a shell company and disguising it as "legal fees."
