Mitt Romney on Ethics

 

  • “In his more than 30 years of service to the Commonwealth both by leadership and by example, Judge Daher has compiled a track record of unblemished integrity and unflinching dedication to the values of honest and ethical government.” Mitt Romney Source: 10-14-2003 Press Release

 

  • “Judge Daher’s courage, his willingness to stand up and speak out about injustice, to cross the political power structure and to take on the insiders make him the best possible choice for this important position.” Mitt Romney Source: 10-14-2003 Press Release

 

  • “Make no mistake: criminals will be punished. They will do their time. But we will make sure their sentences are carried out with the decency and respect they never showed their victims. This is what you would expect from a professionally-run Department of Correction.”

 

  • “Chris Moore has spent a career advising clients in complex litigation and on matters of corporate ethics,” said Romney. “His expertise and knowledge make him an ideal candidate for the Ethics Commission.” Mitt Romney Source: 12-20- 2004 Press Release

 

  • "Matthew Kane brings a sharp legal mind and a reputation for fairness to the important work of the State Ethics Commission." Source 08-09-2005 Press Release
