text: A mayor's job is challenging in itself considering that he oversees large projects such as the rail system. I would want to have a mayor that will be able to put forth a full time effort on our behalf rather than one that is holding a job with a private company. I do agree that his side job can pose a conflict of interest due to his oversight of developments and the fact that his position influences financial matters including property taxes which a bank has vested interest in. I do not agree that just because the city has no accounts with Territorial that that would mean there is no conflict of interest. It disturbs me that a committee would not see such a scenario. The attorney general should be involved in this matter as that fact should be revisited. And the fact that the bill was struck down so fast makes me wonder if our own elected officials are worthy of our trust to protect us from such an obvious conflict of interest that is not in the best interest of the public.
