Dan Esty, a longtime professor and author of books on the benefits to businesses of going "green," had some 300 speaking engagements in the past five years and numerous consulting relationships before he took a leave from academia at Yale University and joined state government. Those past speeches, about one-third of which generated fees of $10,000 to $20,000 each, are the latest items being discussed in terms of possible conflicts of interest, but a spokesman for Esty and the state ethics director said the new commissioner of the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection has gone far beyond what is required by the law in avoiding a conflict.

The legislative finale is not likely to be as spectacular as the Rapture, but it's got some apocalyptic elements. First, there's the sizeable $250 million, two-year budget gap, exacerbated by Friday's news that Vermont coffers contain $50 million less than originally thought. Second, theres the already crowded field for the 2010 governor's race, including incumbent Republican Gov. Jim Douglas, the Democratic Secretary of State Deb Markowitz and three Democratic state senators - Sens. Doug Racine, Susan Bartlett and Peter Shumlin. Oh, and now, possibly, [Anthony Pollina].

The day of [Ed Finley]'s appointment, State Ethics Commission Executive Director Perry Newson sent a letter to [Mike Easley] stating that while Finley had no actual conflict of interest, there was "the potential" for one on two fronts: his legal practice and his personal stock portfolio. Newson recommended that Finley recuse himself from matters involving former clients or utilities in which he held a personal financial stake. I hope we have an open and fully deliberative process rather than the usual perfunctory confirmation," [Pete MacDowell] says. "We couldn't have a more biased appointment if they recruited directly from the utilities. Commissioners roundly deny that their previous work histories with utilities influence their rulings.

The very role of a board of directors in the system of corporate governance is to oversee a corporation's business and affairs, including its management, because numerous dispersed stockholders cannot effectively perform that function on their own. But if directors incurred liability for every misstep they took, or bad decision they made, it would indeed be rare to find a person willing to serve as a director. In Delaware, where the majority of US corporations are incorporated, the hallmark fiduciary duties are the duties of care and loyalty. But if Delaware corporate law is considered the national corporate law, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is perhaps best described as its smash sequel. While competent, good, or best corporate practices vary from circumstance, from company to company...
