Georgia's State Ethics Commission has dismissed a complaint against Lt. Gov. Burt Jones regarding a $10 million loan he made to his own gubernatorial campaign.
The complaint, filed by rival Republican candidate and Attorney General Chris Carr, questioned the legality and source of the loan. The commission ruled that the complaint did not allege a violation of state law and declined to investigate further. Jones' campaign dismissed the complaint as a political tactic.
This decision removes a potential obstacle for Jones as he launches his campaign for governor, which includes a proposal to repeal the state income tax.
