Submitted by ub on

Conflicts of interest are as much a routine a part of government meetings as the US Pledge of Allegiance.
However, full disclosure and abstention by many politicians? Well, not so much.

It now appears that our politicians, including those here on New York will have to straighten up and fly right!
