Long Beach : Port Panel Adopts Ethics Code in Wake of Talin Case

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.
