Oklahoma Ethics Commission Changes Its Confidentiality Rule
Anonymous
According to <a href="http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?subjectid=12&articleid=2009…; target="”_blank”">an
Associated Press article yesterday</a>, the Oklahoma Ethics Commission
recommended a rule change that would get rid of the gag rule on people
who file ethics complaints. The cause of the rule change is two suits
filed against the EC, challenging the gag rule. The suits were filed on
freedom of speech grounds. See my recent <a href="http://www.cityethics.org/node/762" target="”_blank”">blog post</a> for more on freedom
of speech issues relating to confidentiality rules in ethics proceedings.<br>
