Dear editor:

Further expanding upon Garth Turner’s opinion piece on Andrea Kaiser, I would be curious to know what would happen if a conflict-of-interest issue were to come up if Ms. Kaiser were lord mayor (“The Turner Report: The next ambition of Andrea Kaiser

For example, if a winery wanted to expand its footprint or change its designation, or a winery/developer wanted to purchase and develop town land, would Ms. Kaiser have to recuse herself from voting on the issue due to a conflict of interest?

Personally, I would be extremely disappointed to vote for someone whose stand on over-development aligned with my own, only to have them unable to exert their power because they are in the same business as the applicant.

Perhaps Ms. Kaiser could address this when she comes up with her policies.
