Re: Legislative Conflicts of Interest

Hey Fred, the system is an absolute sham. The rules that were designed by the legislators themselves, call for a legislator to announce when they have a conflict of interest.  Then another legislator simply objects and the one with conflict is required to vote. 

They take turns objecting to each other's conflicts ensuring they all get to feather their own nests.  I have never seen a bunch with weaker ethics than the lawmakers in Juneau.
