Senator Pittman Cleared of Ethics Charges by Commission

Pittman
In a Feb. 4th letter, the Alabama State Ethics Commission said it had concluded its investigation of State Senator Pittman ("closing all files against Senator Pittman") concerning his company's (Pittman Tractor) contracts with the cities of Fairhope and Perdido to deploy oil-protection-boom last summer while he was in charge of distributing the BP money designated for that purpose

No mention was made by the Commission of any other parties named in the original complaint by Fairhope-area resident Paul Ripp.

In a letter released today, Mr. Ripp expressed dis-satisfaction with the thoroughness of the Commission's investigation--and hoped Attorney General Strange would investigate the matter further.

Mr Ripp needs to move on. Pittman's company has been the City's emergency response contractor for years and years, long before he was elected to anything. He had the low bid submitted and he got the contract, end of story.

Self righteousness is a just as big a charcter defect as alleged poor ethics, hope Mr Ripp keeps that in mind. In fact, there are several folks in town who could probably use that reminder as well.
