Re: House Judiciary Committee hearings
While I applaud the thought and intent of bombarding the Ethics Commission, I'd ask that you first read the chapter on the intent of the Ethics Law. If I"m looking at the correct chapter, the Ethics Law is meant for conflicts of interest and reining in financial improprieties - not the traitors in the House and Senate flaunting the State Constitution as their personal doormat...
1110. Wrongful use of chapter
(a) Liability.--A person who signs a complaint alleging a violation of this chapter against another is subject to liability for wrongful use of this chapter if:
(1) the complaint was frivolous, as defined by this chapter, or without probable cause and made primarily for a purpose other than that of reporting a violation of this chapter; or
(2) he publicly disclosed or caused to be disclosed that a complaint against a person had been filed with the commission.
*******
If I'm wrong, let me know. I hate to see us labeled as nuts for an emasse filing...as well as be liable for damages....
