Dear Mr. Nurnberger:
STATE ETHICS COMMISSION
308 FINANCE BUILDING
HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA 17120
ORDER OF THE COMMISSION
June 20, 1986
Order No. 498
The Ethics Ccrlmission has reviewed the allegation(s) that you have
violated the Ethics Act, Act 1978 -170. The nature of the alleged violation(s)
is as follows:
That you, a Supervisor and Roadmaster of Union Township, violated Section
3(a) of the Ethics Act which prohibits a public official's use of office or
confidential information gained from that office to realize financial gain
other than conpensution allowed by law when you voted to appoint yourself as
township roadmaster.
On May 2, 1986, the Commission issued Order No 457 -R to Mr. Jack:Gahig.
In that order we found:
Conclusion: Your act in voting for yourself to a position of employment in a
township of the second class, where you served as a township supervisor, is
not in accord with our most recent interpretation of the State Ethics Act. In
light of the fact, however, that your actions in this matter predated our King
Opinion and that there are no other factors which indicate that you
intentionally attempted to obtain financial gain in violation of the law, we
will take no further action in this matter. We do note that the decision in
this particular case is a result of the specific factors outlined herein and
that such decision could he different under other circumstances.
The circumstances in your case are essentially the same as in Gahig. We
will take no further action in accordance with the ahove conclusion.
By the Commission,
G. Sieher Pancoast
Chairman
