How does West Haven spell "ETHICS"?

Blah, Blah, Blah


eth⋅ics [eth-iks] –plural noun

1. (used with a singular or plural verb) a system of moral principles: 'the ethics of our culture. '

2.
the rules of conduct recognized in respect to a particular class of human actions or a particular group, culture, etc.: 'medical ethics' ; 'Christian ethics'

3. moral principles, as of an individual: 'my ethics forced me to resign rather than assist in this illegal attempt.' [Elliot L Richardson]

Here's to our current "Ethics" Commission:

  • One member (apparently, or more truly, allegedly) accused of defrauding that member's employer (thankfully - for once - not the City) by pocketing money obtained for work performed;
  • One member who - without a care about honesty and integrity, switched political party affiliation in a bald attempt to seize (for the majority Democrats) a vacated elected seat reserved for the minority party.
As a side point, this "Ethics" Commission was set up by the Borer Administration as an earnest attempt to end the long history of political abuse in West Haven; these two jokers were appointed by the current regime as political favors, mocking these efforts.

Perhaps - until we get a truly HONEST group back in City Hall, we should call this the "Politics-As-Usual" Commission.

Until then, ETHICS IN West Haven can be most correctly spelled:

P-O-L-I-T-I-C-S
Blah, Blah, Blah
