Through the 2008 crisis in our economy and the interim years we have all seen how important it is for leaders to exercise good judgment, maintain a high degree of honesty and integrity, avoid illegal, dishonest, fraudulent or deceitful conduct, and stay away from acts which show disregard for the health, safety and welfare of the country.

We would also want to have our time spent in making sure we were in compliance reimbursed, plus legal fees.
