Published: May 26, 2020, 7:09 p.m.

It has been said that integrity is where you put gum when no one is looking.In Washington’s inaugural address he hoped  "that the foundations of our national policy will be laid in the pure and immutable principles of private morality.” The kind of public and private morality that Washington called for in our nation’s leaders did not require them to be perfect. But it did necessitate integrity and congruency regardless of the situation.
