Delco Jail Oversight Board Member Also has Millions of Dollars in County Contracts
Broad and Liberty reports one of the seats on the Delaware County Jail Oversight Board reserved for citizens is filled by Brian Corson of MPV Recovery, a company that has made millions recently from county contracts.
“Yes, there are conflicts of interest present here. If a member of a public body — the Jail Oversight Board in this case — also has a business that is contracted with the County government, that member should not be recommending or voting on any matter that is related to those contracts.”
“Trust in government is important and if members of the board appear to not be acting in the public interest, it will erode trust in that board member and in the county government, more broadly,” Pelissero concluded.
