Ethics course makeover

I went a little 70s this week! Dave Anderson asked challengers to perform a makeover on a government ethics course, which I’m sure we all agree could be a little more engaging. I was a little overwhelmed by the amount of text in that course—though the challenge was clear to say that we could…

Countdown timer
