Subsequent to the confirmation of Mark M. Bodi, Councilor Pignatelli asked that the following statement be made part of the minutes:
I have given a lot of thought to this important nomination and want to say a few words.
First, once
again, the Governor has brought to the Council a man of fine character and
excellent qualifications. Even with that, I had to wrestle with the question of whether there was
any kind of conflict of interest for me to vote and for Mark Bodi to serve in this position.
As elected
officials, we must carefully assess potential conflicts. For years, I did so in
the House and Senate to make sure I was conflict-free in my votes. In this case,
Mark Bodi did make a contribution to my campaign.
Certainly, though, we can’t exclude excellent people who have given
contributions, from public service. I did ask the State Executive Ethics
Commission about this and was told there is no conflict so long as a
contribution is disc1osed, and of course, I did so. Further, I would never vote
in favor or against someone whether he did or did not contribute to my
campaign.
I
also considered the potential conflict issue around Mark’s employment in his
advertising agency which does business with the State’s Liquor industry.
When
considering these important nominations to State positions, foremost in my mind
is that we need knowledgeable and qualified people to assume these crucial
posts. When I vote for a qualified judge, for instance, I know I cannot reject
him or her solely because he or his firm represented clients who will come
before the court. When we have an applicant's word he will recuse
himself in cases of conflict and we know he is a person of integrity, we
believe he will. And the same goes for a nominee to lead a state agency who
might have worked in one industry or another and have gained valuable knowledge
and experience. And if confirmed to lead an agency, she might be regulating
that industry. We, the Governor and the Councilors, need to satisfy ourselves
she will work solely for the public’s interest when she comes into state
government. If not, we should not entrust that nominee with such important
public responsibilities.
In this
case, Mark Bodi will be severing all business ties
with his former company. He will not be receiving compensation or payouts in
the future. When he and I met to discuss his nomination, he assured me he will recuse himself from discussions and votes on any contracts
for which his former company will be competing. Those statements were
reassuring to me.
The Public
Hearing was very helpful to me in reaching my decision. Of course, it was an
entirely open process, and I learned from a wide variety of
I had all of these thoughts about qualifications and conflicts in mind when evaluating this nominee. I have satisfied myself that Mark Bodi is a man of integrity and ability. He has convinced me he will do a great job as Commissioner. And he will get my vote.
