I can't comment on the legality of this but it doesn't seem to pass the smell test.

It is reprehensible that anyone should be allowed to serve as a County Commisioner and also lead the Argus Foundation for obvious reasons. The conflict of interest is inherent. She must resign as a public official or be impeached. Remember "power corrupts,absolute power corrupts absolutely.

You are not working for the people. You are [adding your pocket and only representing the will of the developers

We also need to ask for the resignation of the County attorney. How can he rule that this is no conflict? It is beyond belief.

Only 76 signatures? Ennui rules. Yet another reason I've gone bald since immigrating to SRQ

Difficult to think of a more obvious case of sticking a thumb in the public eye. Pure hubris on the part of Ms. Robinson and Argus. What happened to the balanced vision of governance of, by and for the people?

I see Jon Thaxton is helping the homeless. You should help him rather than homebuilders.
