During public comment at the Nov. 13 Nevada Commission on Ethics meeting, a member of the public raised concerns about elected officials who receive health‑care benefits and later vote on labor contracts that affect those benefits.

The commenter, identified in the record as Mr. Church, told the commission he had "never heard anybody do a 2 81 a disclosure" and that officials often vote on labor contracts that inure to their own benefit. He said local bodies including school boards, county commissions and city councils face the issue and that recusal can create a dilemma "because then nobody would be voting on it." Mr. Church asked the commission to address what he described as a statewide issue.

The commission did not take action on the public comment; the chair noted that public comment items do not produce immediate action and that no written public comments had been received prior to the meeting.

Why it matters: The commenter framed the issue as a potential conflict of interest concern involving elected officials and labor‑contract votes. The commission did not announce any follow‑up at the meeting.
