Marriott just fired an employee because she's a Democrat

74. I think a financial services firm or a bank would be more likely to

but I've seen police officers, librarians, people who own and/or work for paving companies, construction managers, engineers, lawyers, farmers, etc., on county commissions, and all have potential conflicts of interest. Someone who has financial information about a large number of companies might be weird in a county commission seat, because they're entering into contracts with various businesses and having inside financial information about those businesses would be inappropriate, but I don't think an internal auditor would have more potential for a conflict of interest than a police officer or someone who owns a paving company. Especially the paving company, since the county allocates funds for road paving, but that commissioner abstained on votes pertaining to road budgets. She would have been fine to vote on everything that didn't involve hotels.

Who would run for part-time elected positions like this if people who work jobs can't run? Retirees and rich people?
