The City of Cambridge needs to enforce State ethics standards, disclosures, rules, and open reporting. Campaign financing, conflicts of interest when making decisions, recusal standards, business involvements, actual residence – the place where a taxpayer-paid elected official lives and sleeps each night, need to be clear, concise, implemented, and enforced. There should be significant penalties for fraud as a disincentive to deceive the people of Cambridge. Without rigorous standards imposed on ourselves, how can we expect better from those watching us?
