If Commissioner Alston comingled funds with Real Estate Broker Alston…?

Conflict of Interest

 

The situation that results … when government officials take campaign contributions

from people whose economic interests are affected by government policy-making.

A Money-in-Politics Glossary

 

Alston accused of threatening mayor, council members over hotel

 

Members of the Greensboro City Council say Melvin “Skip” Alston threatened them with a recall election if they reconsider federal bond financing for a luxury hotel in which he has a direct financial interest.

 

…Alston acted as a broker on the hotel deal and Hayes lives with John Greene, a principal in the Urban Hotel Group, which is proposing the hotel.

 

…Alston has refused to disclose how much money he stands to make from brokering the proposed hotel deal. He denies he Hayes have conflicting interests as they try to represent the concerns of the African American community and move forward a project on which they will both profit.

    Speculation. But if true the irony gets even better as the regulatory body that investigates that type thing is the NC Real Estate Commission, of which Skip is the Chairman? Or has he served out that term?

  • George Hartzman

    Shirley you jest.

    “Melvin L. “Skip” Alston of Greensboro has been reelected Chairman of the North Carolina Real Estate Commission and Marsha H. Jordan of Lincolnton, reelected Vice Chair, for the 2008-2009 term beginning August 1, it was announced by Phillip T. Fisher, Executive Director.”
