Dear Mr. Ceraso:
PJS /nia
cc: Westmoreland County
Ted Simon, Chairman
STATE ETHICS COMMISSION
308 FINANCE BUILDING
HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA 17120
August 22, 1980
ADVICE OF THE COMMISSION
On August 19, 1980 you asked whether Mr. Paul Suchko, the
former Register of Wills of Westmoreland County, was required to
file a Financial Interest Statement. You noted that his term
expired on December 31, 1979 and that he had previously asked
in the county whether he was required to file a Statement of
Financial Interest and had been told he was not required since
he was not a candidate for re- election.
On November 7, 1979 the Commission issued Opinion number
79 -065 which concluded "to promote uniformity of the application
of Act 170, we hold that individuals who are public officials
or public employees in 1979 are required to file a Financial
Interest Statement for that year by May 1, 1980."
You are advised that Mr. Suchko is covered by that Opinion
and is required to file a Financial Interest Statement. You are
also advised that this filing should be made within thirty(30)
days of the receipt of this advice.
Sincerely yours,
tai, /7/ ;
V PAUL J t SMITH
Chairman
