If you have been paying attention you would have noticed that conflict of interest does not exist any more within our republic, from Supreme Court Justices to the Attorney General of the United States all the way down to a lowly city Assemblyman. It is also apparent that neither elected officials or citizens care the least bit about the appearance of impropriety. At this point no one is listening and no one cares, let him vote on pot, I will not lose a moment of sleep over it.
