Ethics board urged to strengthen independence and duties
The editorial urges Cedar Rapids to strengthen the city ethics board, citing 2009 opinions on conflicts of interest involving Dan Thies and council members Pat Shey and Tom Podzimek. It advocates prohibiting elected officials from business with any firm on a city project, appointing outside counsel, and boosting board authority and resources to bolster public trust.
