This week, ethics reform crashed and burned before it could take off in Monroe County. Republicans pulled back from a bill that could have forced Monroe County Health Commissioner Dr. Michael Mendoza to resign. But what, exactly, is the kind of ethics reform that the county needs?

- John Baynes, Monroe County Legislator
- Rachel Barnhart, Monroe County Legislator
