PA Lawmaker’s new job Raises Questions of Ethics
Pennsylvania State Rep. Seth Grove is raising alarms about working for a trade organization while setting laws for that industry, The Keystone reports.
Davina Hurt, the director of government ethics, explained in an interview with The Keystone how these types of dealings erode public trust.
“Pennsylvania workers deserve labor policy made for them, not shaped by the paid leadership of the industries being regulated even when it’s technically legal.” Hurt said in an interview.
"Ethics rules are meant to preserve trust, not just prevent crimes, and this situation raises serious questions about whether the system is doing just that," said Hurt.
