This is the first of a series of posts that will pull out valuable pieces from my new book Local Government Ethics Programs.

One reason that government ethics is described in terms of obligations is that government officials have a fiduciary duty or obligation toward the community for which they work (and which, in some cases, elected them). Government officials have a special obligation toward the community, usually referred to as “the public,” that is unlike any other obligation. Government ethics deals with conflicts between this special obligation and an official’s other obligations.

Government ethics codes don’t usually use the term “fiduciary duty.” However, the first substantive provision in Chicago’s ethics code reads, “Officials and employees shall at all times in the performance of their public duties owe a fiduciary duty to the City.” Note, this duty is owed to the city, not to the city government.
