Another Proof Showing Lincoln Scrupulous Honesty When It Comes To Finance. - Mylye2222 - 11-25-2019 12:55 PM
On March 5th 1961, President Lincoln Corrects a Salary Payment Paper. He was supposed to be payed for President work from March 1st. Yet he was inaugurated on March 5th. So he asked to be paid from the very inauguration day and every 5th of the month. He would not take any extra money. Where are the scrupulous public servants today?

Isn't it. He cared even not stealing public money for 4 extra days.

Is this a trivia question?
I'll guess the DMV (The Dept of Motor Vehicles)
