"Bel Air Beach mayor Dave Gaddis says 4 of his five 5 council members have resigned ahead of the new year, all because of a new form they will have to fill out starting January 1st. It requires them to Share their net worth and the dollar amount of every asset they own over $1,000. The goal to achieve and identify conflicts of interest."
Its hard for me to trust sources with substantive and grammatical errors.
Form 6 is already required for higher-level state officials, so it's not some revolution.
I agree that identifying every asset over $1,000 is not a good idea.
Conflicts of interest are a problem, but that doesn't mean every proposed solution is a good idea.
We do want normal people to run for office, right? What normal person would sign up for that kind of scrutiny? I would not.
I would not want to identify every asset over 1k why should anyone?
