[QUOTE="deleted user, post: 409729, member: 1778"] Well there's no way he didn't know what he was doing. He voted to send our money to pay for his building. A building leased by the A.G. that had that pesky cost overrun of over a million dollars. "Republican House Majority Leader Mike Lefor said the case is concerning because “legislators aren’t going to feel comfortable knowing what a conflict of interest is.” “I’m thinking that we need to visit legislative rules, look at state statutes and have a thoughtful conversation with the Ethics Commission so that we can make absolutely sure that legislators are not looking over their shoulder worrying about does it rise to the level of a conflict of interest or not?” Lefor said. [B]He called it a “slippery slope” for scenarios of a legislator who is a teacher voting on an education bill or a farmer voting on agricultural issues."[/B] Haha! What percentage of our legislators are farmers or teachers (including retired)? They seem plenty comfortable.
