Many officials and government employees are required by law to file a Statement of Economic Interest.  The statement reveals conflicts of interest that could taint public service.  If the law is ignored by a public servant, what does that say to citizens?

James Bridgewater should have filed his by May 1st.  He didn’t.  Evidently, the law doesn’t matter to Jim.  See the requirements here:  Economic Interest Form
