CONFLICTS OF INTERESTWhat are they?
Conflicts arise for government employees and elected officials if they make decisions that give them special, personal benefit, including increasing their property values or winning them government contracts.
How should they be handled?
State law generally calls for officials to avoid votes and decisions that could be seen as a conflict of interest and to disclose potential conflicts.
What can I do?
Financial disclosure forms for some local government officials are available at each county Supervisor of Elections office. The forms for some state officials can be found at www.publicintegrity.org, a Web site run by the nonprofit Center for Public Integrity.
