Our state legislators and our commissioners need to know, first-hand, that the people of our community, and our state, want a clean government. Too often, the concerns voiced about our quality of government end with a few cynical comments, as if these comments alone will solve the matter. If we truly want clean government, each of us must work for clean government. Corruption's greatest ally is public apathy. We all must take the time to make a telephone call, send a fax or an E-mail to our State Senator, our State Representative or our County Commissioner demanding that the steps I have outlined be taken to restore our faith in the honesty of our government.
Good government is our right.
But like all rights, we must each work to preserve its sanctity. I have faith that citizen intolerance of corruption can create the reform momentum necessary for us to reclaim government integrity for Miami-Dade County.
