Ethics complaint was submitted August 28th, to the State Commission on Ethics. Complaint was against
Ethics Board and City Commission. Rejected on September 1st, on the grounds, that the State Commission on Ethics can only accept complaints against “individual” public officers or employees.

If I submit another complaint — who would be most responsible for obfuscating the implementation of an independent Ethics Officer ? Ms.Jaber, each City Commissioner by name or our City attorny?

Can’t do all of above in one complaint.

Not a lawyer. Jack

It appears that she is unable to recognize an ethical violation. Shouldn’t that be a requirement for the position?

JABER MUST BE REMOVED NOW. END OF STORY. Replace her with someone who has criminal investigative experience. Ethics Board actions have been a joke.

In reply to Dennis Barton. She was applying for the "Ethics Board". Conflicts of interest(or lack thereof) are key components of suitability to serve on that board. It's similar to someone not disclosing a felony on an employment application and hoping it will not be discovered. The conflict question is key to suitability. I can't believe she "missed" the question.

to dennis barton: what you refer to as'”sloppy paper work” in my circles is mostly known as “withholding requested information”.and seen as “unethical”.

It appears TR has just done what Ms. Jaber failed to do, which was to identify areas of portential conflict of interest if she were to serve on the Ethics Board. So she is clearly guilty of sloppy paper work but until she participates in ethical matters that involve boards on which her Gunster law partners serve there does not appear to be an ethical violation on her part.

What will it take for ANYONE other than the readers of TR to take notice of this? Maybe someone should file a complaint with the “independent” ethics officer and see how that goes…
