32 the governor’s recommended budget, or the approval or veto of an
33 appropriation made by the legislature for the primary benefit of
34 that political subdivision.
35 (i)(h) This section shall not be construed to limit
36 disclosures and prohibitions which may be established by law to
37 preserve the public trust and avoid conflicts between public
38 duties and private interests.
