(NOTE: I will delete this post, retract, and issue a semi-sincere apology when evidence appears that Scott intended all along to moonlight with his old firm because he could not survive on the measly wages afforded SoS by Colorado's taxpayers.)

So it seems like newly elected Secretary of State and Tea Party Golden Boy Scott Gessler is being advised to pursue his blatant conflict of interest while at the same time getting a poverty pleading from the Independence Institute and saying that he was always going to have to moonlight at this old firm.
