The Ethics Elephant in the Press !
In an article published in the <a href="http://www.jaxdailyrecord.com/showstory.php?Story_id=48372">Jacksonville Daily Record</a> on Thursday, Carla Miller revealed her plans as the City's new Ethics Officer: <br><i>'In a very large city like Jacksonville you can't say that every single person who comes into government will be an ethical and honest person, so it comes down to the control systems. I teach with Michael Josephson in 'Character Counts' and he calls it 'The Law of Big Numbers'. In every large group there are bound to be some crooks. You have to build in front-end controls and cross-checks.'</i></p>
Miller was extensively quoted about her use of the <a href="http://www.cityethics.org/ethics_elephant" target="_blank">fable of the Ethics Elephant</a> and the complete City Ethics <a href="http://www.jaxdailyrecord.com/articles/09_06_07/6b.pdf" target="_blank">Ethics Elephant powerpoint slide</a> is published [in PDF format] on the Daily Record website.
