Quote of the Day

Public service integrity always revolves around managing
conflicts of interest.<span>  </span>It entails
balancing personal interest and obligations of service to the community.<span>  </span>... Where you stand directly
influences what you see.<span>  </span>We see things
involving others with a clarity which escapes us when we have a
personal involvement. <span> </span>Not infrequently, we
do not see impropriety in our own actions, and cannot understand why
others see personal interest.</b><span> <br>
