To use another example that he probably didn't want to use himself, is there a problem with Roavin serving simultaneously as First Warden of the Grey Wardens and Minister of Regional Affairs? There might -- or might not -- be a problem with him serving in other executive offices, but not that one.

Personally, I've always been in favor of letting voters make these conflict of interest decisions instead of trying to apply a universal standard to cases that may be very different. Voters can determine whether holding a particular office elsewhere is in conflict with holding a particular elected office here.

This gets even more problematic in that the same standard would also apply to deputies, which just doesn't seem necessary. The Minister should be able to manage any conflicts of interest among their deputies. We don't want to legislate our way into having too few people for important roles. I'm actually concerned that including deputies in this legislation at all may be too restrictive.

I'm fine with the rest of the language.
