“You know what? Good. Because when we win on this, we get all the credit. I’m ready to roll the dice on this. This is an easy one. You know what solves this problem? Money. And if it’s just about money, we’ll figure it out. It’s not a moral issue.”
“No,” says Ms. MacDonnell. “The moral and ethical stuff around it are just clear.”
“It’s really clear,” says Ms. Raitt. “Oh. Leona. I’m so disappointed.”
