Am I the only one that thinks that it's good that these people with corruption issues are leaving before they find out later on they have issues? I hope he replaces him with someone who knows things though...

Of course. Its always better to catch a crook before he takes office. That said, I have to wonder who is vetting these people...assuming that anyone is.

There is an already existing topic on this subject here.

Please contribute any further questions and/or comments to the above linked thread.

Thank you.
