Ethics Commission Dismisses Complaint Against Candidate

  • {Kentucky}...The Legislative Ethics Commission filed an order Tuesday afternoon, dismissing a complaint filed against Republican agriculture commissioner candidate James Comer, who stood accused by political opponents of using a state employee to work on his campaign during regular business hours. Comer, a state lawmaker form Tompkinsville, is running for agriculture commissioner against Democrat Bob Farmer, a Louisville marketing strategist. At issue were Facebook postings that the Farmer campaign alleged were filed by a state worker on state time. The ethics panel said the complaint against Comer contained "significant errors."
