Honesty wanted

I attended the last LAFCO meeting. It was the first meeting with new people in charge and many new people from around the county representing various agencies. The chairs ask the people to identify themselves and state their goals. It was the first meeting Otay water board president Mark Robak said his goal was to consolidate water agencies.
He then went into detail about consolidation as the most efficient means of delivery services. He went back to talking about efficiency several times throughout the meeting.
Senator Hubert Humphrey, future vice-president, ran against Nixon after Robert Kennededy was assasinated., who when he spoke sounded more like a priest than a politican, made a strong point that efficicency is not the highest goal of government.
What the people want out of government is honesty.
