Today’s
CTNJ
is reporting on the SIM ethics debate. The article points out that the weak
conflict of interest policy proposed by SIM staff and adopted by the steering
committee admits
“Members
of the advisory bodies may participate in program design and development
decisions, even if they or their organizations may potentially reap a benefit.”
At their next meeting, the committee plans to reconsider adopting the state
Code of Ethics that governs all similar councils that are not appointed by the
Lieutenant Governor.
