OAG 81-204 is cited to support the assertion that common law provisions regarding a public officer's conflicts of interest apply only in the absence of a specific statute on the subject. Since there is a specific statute (KRS 100.171) applicable to conflicts of interest involving members of joint city-county planning commissions, the common law does not apply.
OAG 81-204 was Followed by OAG 97-021
