Ethics panel clash over school board ties and fund moves
Elisco and DeBlasio abstain from a city meeting after the Pennsylvania Ethics Commission ruling that a superior subordinate relationship exists with Domenick on the New Castle area school board. May seeks to move funds from WRP Investments to Morgan Stanley Dean Witter citing lower fees while Maiorano abstains and others oppose adjournment as the audience voices frustration over potential loss of city funds.

Ethics Commission flags conflict in pension fund voting
The Pennsylvania Ethics Commission ruled that councilmen Mark Elisco and Rick DeBlasio would have a conflict of interest if they vote to invest pension funds through WRP Investments, which employs Domenick. Domenick is connected to Elisco and DeBlasio through a superior-subordinate relation, as he handles about a quarter of the city's nearly $28 million pension fund and may influence salaries for the two administrators' spouses.

Ethics panel flags conflict over Domenick voting
The ethics commission warned that a reciprocal relationship could financially affect both Domenick and Maiorano, prompting abstention on matters involving Domenick. Pension fund solicitor W Thomas Andrews will determine if Maiorano has a conflict due to his school district contracts, with Maiorano and Domenick acknowledging their cousin link. If a conflict exists a person may face charges and a jury could decide. DeBlasio and Eliseo abstained since February. Andrews advised Maiorano to refrain from voting until cleared.
