Long Beach : Port Panel Adopts Ethics Code in Wake of Talin Case
- Share via
The Long Beach Harbor Commission has adopted an ethics code in the wake of alleged conflicts of interest by former Commissioner George F. Talin Sr. Talin has denied any wrongdoing.
The code, approved earlier this week by a 4-0 vote, prohibits commissioners and their families or employees from doing business directly or indirectly with the Port of Long Beach.
Talin, whose six-year term as a commissioner ended this week, is being investigated for allegedly allowing his company, Talin Tire Inc., to profit from sales to the port while he sat on the commission.
