Executive Council Lacks Ethical Oversight

By Dan Gorenstein on Friday, November 19, 2004.

On Monday the Joint Legislative Ethics Committee is scheduled to meet to decide whether to continue its investigation of House Speaker Gene Chandler.

Chandler has been accused of violating ethics guidelines by taking gifts of more than $250.

The Attorney General is also investigating the House Speaker for not reporting tens of thousands of dollars worth of gifts.

But Chandler isn't the only elected official to raise large sums and not report it.

Executive Councilor Ruth Griffin failed to fully report about 80 thousand dollars she has raised and used for personal uses.

But as New Hampshire Public Radio's Dan Gorenstein reports, unlike for legislators, there are no comparable ethical guidelines that govern executive councilors.
