Ethics Commission appoints officers

At their first meeting, Ethics Review commissioners opted to stick with what worked in the past and unanimously voted to elect Commissioner Austin Kaplan as chair and Commissioner Peter Einhorn as vice chair on Tuesday. Both Kaplan and Einhorn served in those capacities on the previous incarnation of the commission, and those who worked with them vouched for their continued service to the new members of the commission, who now make up a majority. “It’s not an easy job,” said Commissioner Donna Beth McCormick. “I think that all of you new members, your time will come. But you kind of need to see how it works.”
