Robert Caro characterized Robert Moses as not personally corrupt.

“But any differences he had with the mayor or governor were more about what he decided to build and whom he displaced to build it rather than his personal conduct. As Caro himself writes, quote, "Robert Moses was not himself corrupt.”

“He was, in fact, as uninterested in obtaining payoffs for himself as any public servant who ever lived. In the politician's phrase, he was money honest," end quote.”
