Happy writing day to you too, and yes, Commissioner Scott is honest. He better be! I had to create a commissioner who could survive Captain Lee, and dishonesty wasn't a survivable character trait! More seriously: Commissioner Scott represents a certain type of older person who has prejudices, but is not blind about those prejudices, and can make progress when he or she realizes the need to do so -- they are rare, and are rarely given public voice, but, people do change even at older ages.
