BOSTON (AP) - The State Ethics Commission is alleging Pittsfield's mayor violated a conflict of interest law when he agreed to buy at face value two World Series tickets from former Red Sox General Manager Dan Duquette. The commission alleges that Duquette offered to sell Mayor James Ruberto two tickets to Game 2 of the 2004 World Series between the Boston Red Sox and St. Louis Cardinals. At the time, Duquette, owner of the Berkshire Dukes Baseball Team, was negotiating with Ruberto to allow the team to play at Pittsfield's Wahconah Park. The commission says Roberto agreed to pay $190 per ticket at a time when tickets were selling on the Internet at $600 to $2,000 per ticket. A spokesman for Ruberto did not immediately offer a comment. A call and e-mail to Duquette were not immediately returned.
