Natsios can finish this project successfully by emulating the better aspects of Kerasiotes' record while upholding his commitment, as a public employee, to treat the taxpayers with respect and honesty.

The $29.2 billion figure for February was almost $2 billion up from the previous month, and even though the oil-price hike was responsible for a substantial portion of the difference, the figure remains untenably high...
