Little Rock attorney and blogger Matt Campbell, whose knack for deep research brought down Mark Darr, Mike Maggio and Dexter Suggs, now has his sights trained on another worthy target. Today, he filed a 113-page ethics complaint against state Treasurer Dennis Milligan that includes 14 separate allegations.
The complaint includes allegations that Milligan promised jobs in the treasurer’s office in return for volunteer campaign work to people who did not have the necessary qualifications for treasurer’s office employment. It alleges he hired the spouses of two state legislators, misused state resources to copy and distribute promotional material at a political event, purposefully set up a campaign email account to accept applications for employment because it would not be accessible by reporters and made multiple violations of campaign finance reporting laws.
