Just a quick note to let you guys know that the city of Dallas is running a contest to name its new ethics tip hotline. Has an elected official recently asked you to pay for his car tires in exchange for his soul? This is the number to call: 877-860-1061. The zero makes it tough. No letters associated with that number on your keypad. One FrontBurnervian suggested to me that the hotline should be called Just The Tip. Not so sure. That maybe violates one of the five guidelines for naming entries. They must be clear, clever, concise, clean, and copyright-free.
So maybe Ethics McEthics Tipface?
