Maria R de S should be required to disgorge all the profits her household took in from her involvement, PLUS the fine.
Otherwise, it just looks like a slap on the wrist.

This story will last about as long as any of the other public corruption scandals around here. Which is to say it's already past.

There are more "conflict of interest" scandals that will be forthcoming from PDC. It should be interesting, but like Don said,
SO WHAT.
