Dear Mr. Wagner:
PJS /rdp
STATE ETHICS COMMISSION
308 FINANCE BUILDING
HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA 17120
June 2, 1980
ADVICE OF COMMISSION
PAUL J. ITH
Chairman
Advice #80 -664
On December 4, 1979, you asked whether the retainer
from various muncipalities is a "contract" between your firm
and the municipalities. You also asked whether you as
"public employees" have to file Statements of Financial Interests.
The Commission has been enjoined by Commonwealth Court
from requiring Financial Interest Statements from solicitors
of various governmental bodies. By administrative action, the
Commission has extended this action to all solicitors and we
.are not requiring Financial Interest Statements from any solicitor
of any governmental body.
The various law suits will resolve the requirements of
solicitors under Act 170 and we will notify interested persons
when that court decision has been handed down.
