Whether they're able to do under the ethics statute or not, it's a plain conflict of interest.

A whole community has been uprooted and huge parts of it destroyed. Add on top of that the disproportionate impact on the African-American population. So there is a tremendous amount of emotion about the issue.

You can't tell people to go pour their money and energy and emotion into rebuilding under the threat that their homes could be bulldozed in a year from now. That's not a fair position to put people in.

I don't think the urban-development side has been addressed at all. There was just a big punt on that issue.
