121 A.3d 954
COMMONWEALTH of Pennsylvania, Respondent v. Michael R. VEON, Petitioner. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Respondent v. Michael R. Veon, Petitioner.
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
Aug. 20, 2015.

Opinion:
ORDER
PER CURIAM.
AND NOW, this 20th day of August, 2015, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issues, as stated by petitioner, are:
(1) Whether the Pennsylvania conflict of interest law is unconstitutionally vague on its face, and whether as applied in this case the trial court improperly expanded the definition of "private pecuniary interest" to include "intangible political gain," thereby threatening the constitutional rights of all elected officials in Pennsylvania.
(2) Whether the restitution ordered in this case was improper[ ] because the Commonwealth cannot be a victim under the subject criminal statutes.
