August 2018 Group Watch: Ethics Commission Rules on Speaker’s Chief of Staff
Retiring Republican Rep. Mark Tuggle is in line for the position of Chief of Staff to Speaker of the House Mac McCutcheon. A recently released opinion from the state Ethics Commission concluded that Tuggle’s duties as Chief of Staff would not violate the state’s revolving door provision, which prohibits elected officials from lobbying their former office for two years. The Commission voted 4-0 in favor of the opinion.
