Dear Mr. Lefever:
STATE ETHICS COMMISSION
308 FINANCE BUILDING
HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA 17120
ORDER OF THE COMMISSION
October 13, 1981
No. 83
The State Ethics Commission has received a complaint
regarding you and a possible violation of Act 170 of 1978.
The State Ethics Commission has completed its investigation
into these allegations and finds there was a violation of
the Act when you failed to report all required sources of
income.
The individual allegations and findings on which our
conclusion is based are:
I. Allegation: That you incorrectly disclosed your wife's
occupation on your Financial Interest Statement,
II. Allegation: That you failed to disclose your wife's
source of income in Item 15 on the Financial Interest
Statement.
III. Findings /Discussion: Section 5(b) of the Ethics Act
requires the name and address of any person (a business,
individual, corporation, union, association, firm,
partnership, committee, club or other organization or
group of persons) who is the direct or indirect source
of income totaling in the aggregate of $500 or more.
IV. Conclusion: While the failure to list your wife's
occupation and source of income is a violation of the
Act, you corrected your Statement at the Township. The
Commission accepts this and will take no further action.
You have amended your Statement to include all reportable
items.
