While I believe Russell has been very good for Lake Martin, having a seat on a planning and zoning commission theoretically would do no good since that board member would have to recuse on his company's projects before the board. This will have to be some form of quasi-governmental entity so I would assume state ethics rules will apply.

I say theoretically because the back scratch phenomenon will be in full force on this commission so that the illusion of propriety will be maintained.

That said, I have not read the proposed bill, but a board with these sweeping powers could be very overbearing in the future. Think about having a New England style Hysterical Society, oops, Historical Society governing all aspects of a remodel.
