It's a shame that Mr. Merritt had to resign from his position on the ethics board but there is a saving grace. Mr. Merritt hop on over to the State Bar and you will easily find a good paying job. Plus they have no ethics there at all so it works out great for everyone except the public but who cares about them anyway.....Start by taking the lawyers out for a fine dinner but make sure you pick up the tab or they will probably fire you....Just bribe them like everyone else and you will be loved. Good luck in your new position.
