A Different Sort of Ethical Problem in Government
How do you stand? Is it all right for two Council members to work for each other?
An article in the Chieftain reports that two of the seven finalists for City Council District 2 seats have close ties to current members of Council, but there’s “no conflict.” Of interest, we assume.
It seems that finalist Betty Martinez works at the same firm as Randy Thurston, and finalist Derrick Padilla is Council Member Ray Aguilera’s boss at PCC. It makes for an interesting ethical situation.
