First, there's a point I'd like to raise. My understanding about the declaration would be about partisan position, not partisan activity. I think it's two things.
Partisan positions are defined quite narrowly, and you're correct in saying that I wouldn't expect anyone currently performing any of the positions that are identified in the statute...that would be against our code of ethics. The issue becomes whether when you hire new employees, declaration prior to their employment should be declared. I think that, as I mentioned in my opening remarks, raises issues of privacy.
