Such things are so common on every level that people are immune to corruption in this state. Conflicts of interest and nepotism maybe in a policy manual or state law but there are always ways around them. Even when it is to the point of ridiculous as in this area where the school district is now run by a husband and wife team despite public protest the state just looks the other way. Part of the problem is the state doesn't enforce it's rules on government entities nor businesses. This state government has never had credibility.
