Internet reality show host or appointed board member? (By Wendy Card)

What happens when an elected official appoints an internet reality show host to a housing authority’s public body?

The appointed board member/reality show host uses information obtained through their public position and spins it to support their agenda. The host/appointed member also promotes the elected official during the election season while criticizing members of the city council and other candidates.

Is this normal?
