New Castle Ethics Board Reviews Pension Investment Conflict
The state ethics commission weighs whether New Castle City Council members Mark Elisco and Rick DeBlasio would violate ethics rules by voting to invest over $4 million in WRP Investments, which employs school board member David Domenick, given the possible effects on family members including Elisco’s assistant principal position and DeBlasio’s wife’s principal role. The board considers abstention rules and public disclosure requirements under the Ethics Act as the council evaluates the proposed Goldman-Sachs tied investment via WRP.
