Dear Senator Corman:
STATE ETHICS COMMISSION
HARRISBURG, PA.
May 31, 1979
79 -013
I am writing in response to your letter of March 13,
1979, in which you requested an advisory opinion from the State
Ethics Commission concerning the rental of office space for your
district office in a building in which you are part owner.
Please be advised that on May 11, 1979, the Commission issued
a formal opinion to Senator Romanelli concerning the same issue.
The Commission determined that an agreement to rent space for a
district office in a building owned by Senator Romanelli was
not a "contract...with a governmental body" as that term is defined
in Act 170 of 1978 and, therefore, the rental agreement for the
district office did not conflict with Section 3(c) of the Act.
I believe the Commission's opinion in Senator
Romanelli's case applies to the rental of your district office.
If you desire, you may request a formal Board opinion.
State Ethics Commission
308 Finance Building
Harrisburg, PA 17120
(717) 783 -1610
Sincerely,
Paul J :math
