Letter to the Editor: New Fort Myers Chamber CEO has glaring conflict of interest

I respect and like Lee County Commissioner Brian Hamman. He was the voice, with the late Frank Mann, in the map he offered that could result in a minority-majority district and keep Dunbar intact. Even though his counterparts wouldn’t pass it.

But I cannot wrap my mind around the thought process that went into approving and hiring Brian Hamman as CEO of the Greater Fort Myers Chamber of Commerce. Brian: you cannot serve two masters. Private business and government need to have a separation of powers.

I was raised in a family of attorneys, judges and others who held public office. Morals, ethics and conflict of interests were well ingrained in my upbringing.
