From the transcript
On April 24th, 2026, I received a letter dismissing the complaint against me, which I waived confidentiality and made public on May 22nd. Um, to read from it in part, we'll say that the complainant alleges that my determinations misapplied the Ethics Act and therefore constituted a knowing aid to an ethics violation after conducting a preliminary evaluation under 9AAC 52-140, including listening to the audio of the board's ethics disclosures and determinations, we conclude that the allegations, even if true, would not establish a violation of the act.
