Ethics complaint filed against Attorney General Tim Griffin, other Arkansas officials

A series of ethics complaints have been filed against Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin, along with other state officials and PACs.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — On September 19, the co-founders of ArkLeg Bill Tracker filed a series of ethics complaints against several Arkansas officials that includes Attorney General Tim Griffin, Secretary of State Cole Jester, and more.

Attorney General Tim Griffin
Lieutenant Governor Leslie Rutledge
Secretary of State Cole Jester
State Rep. David Ray
