Abstract
The issue of ethics in public-private sector arrangements such as a partnership between a county government and a local chamber of commerce develops a complex character as the political process intrudes, which is a development that can either facilitate or obstruct ethical relationships. Politics can, as opposed to popular public opinion, indeed ensure that public interest is seriously considered.
