On Robbie's Lobbyist vote

Self-dealing is a form of conflict of interest.

...“a situation where one takes an action in an official capacity

which involves dealing with oneself in a private capacity

and which confers a benefit on oneself."

...“You work for government and use your official position

to secure a contract for a private consulting company you own”

or “using your government position to get a summer job for your daughter”.

Where a fiduciary has engaged in self-dealing,

this constitutes a breach of the fiduciary relationship.

Wiki

If political self-dealing involves an elected official

taking advantage of an undisclosed position in a transaction

and acts in self interest

instead of the interests of those represented,

did Robbie Perkins vote for a Federal lobbyist

involve unethical conduct unbecoming a Mayor 

which violated the trust between Robbie and his constituents

through their tax dollars?

.

"A member of the board or any other body

exercising quasi‑judicial functions

...shall not participate in or vote

on any quasi‑judicial matter in a manner

that would violate affected persons' constitutional rights

to an impartial decision maker.

Impermissible conflicts include, but are not limited to,

a member having a fixed opinion prior to hearing the matter

that is not susceptible to change,

undisclosed ex parte communications, a close familial, business,

or other associational relationship with an affected person,

or a financial interest in the outcome of the matter."

§ 160A‑388.

Did the other City Council Members know

about Robbie's relationship with the family of the lobbyist?
