I just read about this in the Sunday paper. Isn’t she still the controlling shareholder of the benefiting company? This will always be a conflict of interest as long as she is involved. When I worked for the government and sat on a panel to select companies competing for a contract I had to fill out a form saying I had no dealings with any of the companies up for consideration or any subsidiaries of them. I also had to fill out a financial disclosure form to prevent any possible conflict of interest. She should be censured for conflict of interest and the city’s economic development authority should not even consider her plans.
