The Battle Against Public Corruption

1/27/2013

I attend the lawyer's lunch with the Ethics Commission each month.  Joseph Centorino is the executive director of the Miami-Dade County Commission on Ethics and Public Trust.  The Commission does a good job educating lawyers that represent local governments.  I enjoy the lunches because I look at it as a lawyer and as a public official.  The speakers are always interesting.

Mr. Centorino does not only educate lawyers, he also crusades for the enactment and enforcement of ethics provisions.  Our current laws are weak and do not do enough.  In his most recent opinion piece, he concluded with the following:

Public servants do not need to be heroes. They need to treat people honestly and fairly and act as loyal employees to earn their constituents’ respect. But they also need to understand the public’s frustration toward government due to improper appearances that lie beyond enforcement. Everyone in public service today faces that challenge.

Well said, Mr. Centorino, well said.

    Beautiful Miami Springs.  There is no place like it.  THANK YOU for re-electing me to our City Council in April 2011.  It is going to be difficult to share information with our residents during or after Council meetings.  As a result, I will post to my blog often: Council items, neighborhood happenings, local events.  Please subscribe, bookmark the site, and visit often.
