Conflict of Interest

In a small town, conflict of interests are always just around the corner. Kuhn and city officials say everything is above board. The fishy thing is that Kuhn got lots of business the year he became commissioner and now as mayor, but none the three years before that. It looks suspicous, but does not proof preferential treatment.

There will be more to come on this story ...

Are there actually people who would use their public office for personal gain? Seriously?
I meand surely not in Ark City. That might go on in other cities, but not here in Happyville, and not with Mayor Smellicious Poon. He is a man of outstanding moral character, and certainly above reproach.

"Prove" is the word you were looking for in the last line, not proof.

And, even if everything is above board, even the appearance of wrongdoing is something that should be fixed by having Kuhn stop bidding on city work until he is off the council.
