LIVERMORE — The state’s ethics watchdog has opened a conflict of interest investigation against Livermore Councilman Ben Barrientos after he voted no on a housing development that could create more traffic and other problems near his home.
Barrientos’ vote last year came despite advice from the state’s Fair Political Practices Commission that he had a “disqualifying financial interest” because his home was too close to the project.
