More than three-quarters of Americans would blow the whistle on wrongdoing at their workplace, according to a newly released survey — but only if they could do so anonymously, without fear of reprisal, and — and this is a big “and” — there was a monetary reward involved.

That law strengthened whistleblower protections against retaliation and provided for financial incentives to report wrongdoing.

I would rat out Jeff Simpson in a heart beat.
