The Chicago Tribune reported that City Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin has been fined $60,000 for violating financial disclosure rules. The Chicago Board of Ethics found that Conyears-Ervin failed to disclose her husband’s consulting business on her Statements of Economic Interests for three consecutive years. The fine was imposed after a hearing where Conyears-Ervin admitted to the violations but claimed that it was an oversight. The Board of Ethics stated that financial disclosure rules are in place to ensure transparency and prevent conflicts of interest. Conyears-Ervin has since amended her statements to include her husband’s business. This is not the first time the City Treasurer has faced ethics violations, as she was previously fined for failing to disclose rental income from a property she owns. It remains to be seen how this latest fine will impact Conyears-Ervin’s political career.
