"Stay informed" ;D
But this is also what I mean by being role models - they shouldn't really need to be watched in order to do the right thing, as they have built up the trust in the community. Unfortunately, that trust often leads to a sense of "above the law" and hubris.
LOL The term "stay informed" should now be the new code phrase for 'there's a fox in the henhouse'.
You're right about the role models....they can easily sway new or inexperienced (and in my case inattentive) voters to follow them down a path filled with potholes. It certainly won't be the last time something like this happens, but now it might be a little easier to spot.
