| Explaination | I may not require an employment exemption, since I have applied for the seat to be occupied by "a representative ... from a nongovernmental nonprofit group that is organized in the State...
. who works on issues related to transparency or open government; and who is nominated by representatives of the open government and news media communities." I meet all these criteria. However, while no member of the staff of the Public Justice Center has yet filed a complaint with the PIACB, there is that possibility in the future. Thus, I seek the employment exemption in an abundance of caution. In any event, whether either exemption is needed or applies, I would abide by ethics requirements for recusal at all necessary times. |
