Council candidates on ethics scenario: Ladan Bezanson

Ladan Bezanson, learning coordinator for Montclair:

QUESTION: If you are elected to the City Council and you discover that a colleague, either on the council or a city employee, has been involved in unethical activity, what would you do?

ANSWER: First things first, I would report them to the appropriate authority. I just want to ensure that it is taken care of properly, so that the public does not lose trust in their elected officials. There have been too many issues in the recent past and people already have their doubts.
