The Delaware Supreme Court says Dewey Beach Mayor Diane Hanson did not act unethically in casting a vote on the Ruddertowne redevelopment project.
The state's Public Integrity Commission had found that Hanson acted improperly because she owned rental property in the city.
In a one-page order, the Supreme Court said it agreed with a lower court's ruling that had cleared Hanson.
A Superior Court judge reversed the ruling last year, and the commission appealed the judge’s ruling to the Supreme Court.
Yesterday Hanson told the Salisbury Daily Times that she was representing the people I serve and not doing it for her financial gain.
