Why is the Mayor not in jail for bribery and corruption?

According to your source, he worked for Pfizer in 2010, kind of a stretch to call that conflict when it has been 14 years. Everyone holds stock not sure why her holding a lot of it is bad. Her holdings in healthcare, according to your source, is only 50k to 100k (not even sure whether this is individual stock or some kind of ETF). The source only cites other large holdings she has. If we take the middle value for all of those and take the middle value for the Pfizer stock that's only about 7.5% of the portfolio. Remember that doesn't account for other holdings she has
