Can You Say 'Conflict of Interest'?

From Roll Call ($):

Rep. Jerry Costello (D-Ill.) said Wednesday he will ask the House ethics committee whether he may continue to seek earmarks for a community college in his district after his wife was named president of the school last week.

You need an ethics committee to decide on whether this is a conflict of interest or not? Costello got a 0% score on our 2007 RePORK Card.
