Oxymoron of the week: City Hall ethics training under way. Do they realize most of these people get into the positions they're in through unscrupulous means? Weren't most of us taught ethics by our parents and teachers? Now we need to pay some lawyer to come in and do it? I'm not sure, but I think this might be some kind of April Fools joke gone awry...
Ethics training session under way at City Hall : Latest Local News : The Buffalo News
I could tell some bad jokes about people from South Buffalo political families falling backwards while others catch them, exhibiting "trust". However, I'll just print some of the comments left on the Bflo News website under the story:
Ethics are for those who possess a conscience

Ethics are complicated? I sure as heck don't need a law or rule to tell me what is ethical and what isn't! Most of us learn ethical behavior as we are growing up.

They should hire a motivator next. The people in City Hall are disgustingly lazy.

Talk about ethics...just take a look at how much money attorney Adam Perry (individually) and Hodgson Russ (as a corporate entity) donate each year to Byron Brown. You will see an ethics issue there as well.

Rumor has it, they will be getting this guy next year as a motivational speaker. He's not that good but he is second cousins with the Comerfords. So of course, that makes him qualified, doesn't it?...
