As a personal note, I always appreciated Governor Edgar’s warmth, candor, and patience. He’d always pick up the phone or call me back as soon as he could. No question was beneath him. In a field full of self-centered egos, he had a rare set of qualities. A true public servant.

Imagine a world where voters had this info *before* an election. In that world, newsrooms would hire/retain journalists faster than corporations could poach them away, and readers would demand quality reporting instead of settling for a quantity of algo-driven drivel.
