Throughout our lives we will all have our integrity tested.  We will all have opportunities to "profit" by ignoring the values we espouse.  We will have a choice between compromising our beliefs and achieving something we value, or "living" our values and, quite possibly, failing to achieve something we desire.  To live by those beliefs is integrity.  To cast them aside to reach a desired goal is, in my opinion, hypocrisy.  

Ms Hoyle, who has made "getting big money out of politics" a key plank in her campaign platform, had a tremendous opportunity to show us her integrity by returning Mr. Bloomberg's $250,000. Such an act would have been impressive..so impressive it would, likely, have received national attention and, quite possibly, insured her election.  Instead, she chose to accept that huge contribution and show us how meaningless her words are when contrasted to her actions.
