I came to office promising major ethics reform to end the culture of self-dealing. And today, that ethics reform is a law.

When they started to drain a swamp where birds and fish had lived, for a new housing development down the road from his apartment, Steven watched the protests and the preparations with interest. The bird people were furious, the developers unmovable, and Steven was filled with relief that the fight wasn't his. Nothing here was his. . .

He was free because it wasn't his water here, and they weren't his fish.
