Commissioner Anthony Eid announced this week he wouldn’t be continuing to work for the group after all. Though he says the inquiry from the commission’s executive director and others found it would’ve been fine if he had.
“There was a determination made. We got it from our lawyers and from Edward and that determination said there was no conflict of interest.”
But Commissioner Rebecca Szetela says it’s not that simple. She says the group still should have discussed the issue.
“The fact that that document was prepared by two members of the commission is not a determination by the commission.”
Concerns partially stemmed from the advocacy group’s participation in the redistricting process.
