Conflict of interest?
Where I come from, we call that graft.

Not being a citizen of your state, I am apparently not getting all the details here. I don't, for instance, see in the article where the numbers (10%) were given for Yarbrough and Stump. I do see where Lopez wanted to prevent Yarbrough and Stump from both sponsoring and voting on issues that directly reflect their day job, but not subject herself to the same rules.
ReplyDeleteWould you wish to apply the same rules to other areas not related to education? If a doctor for instance wanted to sponsor a bill about health care, or a police officer about speeding laws?
You are a public school teacher, therefore your vote is automatically biased. Should you recuse yourself from voting when these issues come up on the ballot? Why should they?
