Nighbert to pay fine to resolve ethics complaint
March 19, 2010 1:31 PM


Former Transportation Secretary Bill Nighbert has admitted that he violated a government ethics code and has agreed to pay a $500 fine to resolve a case before the Executive Branch Ethics Commission.



Nighbert acknowledged in a settlement agreement that he had failed to disclose ownership interest in a business called Double Buck LLC. The state ethics code requires that each year executive branch officials disclose to the commission the names of businesses in which they have an interest of at least $10,000 or 5 percent.

Nighbert was transportation secretary under former Gov. Ernie Fletcher.

The Executive Branch Ethics Commission approved Nighbert's settlement agreement Friday. Nighbert had given his approval last week.
