BEGA Issues Opinion Concerning Proper Constituent Services by Elected Officials
The District's Office of Government Ethics, under the Board of Ethics and Government Accountability (BEGA), today released an advisory opinion addressing the ethical limits of constituent services performed by District government elected officials.
The opinion, prompted by several questions posed to BEGA, offers a guide to elected officials on the types of constituent services that may be provided when such services risk interference with government operations, or have the potential to create opportunity for the abuse of public office and public trust.
