Read this editorial in Huffington Post. And it got me thinking…

Should they not focus on addressing issues and needs already identified, correcting what they know is wrong?

Why not leave a legacy of actions taken – even if they are only a partial fix, moving in the right direction is never a bad thing – rather than the lazier truth of “we did everything we could to identify the problem”.

Maybe I just don’t understand governments…
