Administrative Responsibility, Conflict, And Ethical Reflection

Ethical Reflection

Ethical reflection would have saved public administrators at Pinellas County from corruption charges and public embarrassment if the administrators had evaluated how buying the property would appear to the outsiders. The whole problem occurred when a group of insiders decided to purchase the property in a casual manner. The county had a history of electing officials and giving them autonomy to perform their tasks with very little challenge or conflict and this made the appraiser, the administrator, and the attorney to believe that the transaction would be completed without a challenge from the public (Menzel, 2015).

The county attorney is selected in this discussion because she must have understood her roles as well the rules that govern the behavior of the attorney before she could agree to help the county appraiser. The county attorney should have given some recommendations that would help in the approval by the county government (Menzel, 2015). The ethical dilemma of the county attorney represented a conflict of interests because she was obligated by the virtue of her position to protect the interests of the taxpayers in Pinellas County against unfair transactions.
