"Cowardice asks the question...is it safe? Expediency asks the question...is it politic? Vanity asks the question...is it popular? But conscience asks the question...is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because it is right." ~Dr. Martin Luther King

Answer to Robert The Bruce

Mr. Nitkin highlighted the words I capitalized. I don't know how to highlight specific words so I capitalized.

The Code of Conduct has rules. The Mayor and Friends and legal Counsel appear to feel no compunction about picking and choosing which they will observe and which they will not. I think that puts the rules into question. . For me at least.

Mr. Nitkin, on the other hand, is fastidious in his application of the rules including those of secrecy and confidentiality. He will not likely defend himself against the criticism levelled against him.

Wording from the Council Resolution from August 6th indicates beyond question " despite efforts to persuade the Commissioner", there was a determined effort to interfere with the process and obtain the decision they desired.

Imagine that an individual whose entire professional reputation is about ethics and integrity, having the misfortune to sign a contract with Mayor Morris and her consistent majority.

The story is not over yet.
