AG Reviews Sims’ ‘Conflict’ Complaint

Item: Attorney General reviews conflict of interest rules: Rep. Kathy Sims sent letter asking for help with interpretation /Tom Hasslinger, Coeur d’Alene Press

More Info: The Idaho Attorney General’s Office is reviewing letters regarding rules related to conflicts of interest when it comes to city officials and the McEuen Field project. After it reviews the letters, the office will issue a written response to Rep. Kathy Sims. “We’ve not been involved in this issue,” said Bob Cooper, spokesman, on Tuesday. “In order to respond to her concerns we have to understand the background.”

Question: I’m amazed that Sims demands strict adherence to her interpretation of the law, but she ignored attempts by the city of Coeur d’Alene for more than a year after the 2009 City Council election to get her to comply with financial disclosure laws. How about you?
