Ethics

Several Tribal Members complained to me that we need better ethics laws. While true, often the issues are not ethics but simply bad decisions. Making bad business decisions will happen and should be controlled with better appointments. On the other hand, hiding the results of bad decisions is unethical. Hiding bad decisions are better resolved with more effective sunshine legislation. If everyone can see what everyone is doing, we will start making more careful deliberate business decisions. The real teeth in ethics is changing the ethics statute to simply publicly identifying actions and actors so the voters can vote out bad actors, in other words more sunshine.
