We can have a special session for ethics reform.
We can establish meaningful standards of conduct and competence for public servants.
And a system to hold them accountable to those standards
even against their will.
... first.
The terms of public service are the prerogative of the public. Fundamental among those terms; public servants are accountable to the public, and to meaningful standards of conduct and competence, at least for the eight measly hours a day that we have to "trust" them with the control over our power and our resources.
