Ethics complaint against Cagle dismissed

ATLANTA - As expected, the state's Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Committee dismissed an ethics complaint against Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle Tuesday.

The complaint, filed just before Cagle was re-elected last fall, alleged that he had an affair with a female staff member and then paid her to keep in quiet.

In rejecting the complaint, Channel 2 Action News reports the committee strongly chastised the man who filed it, Ray Boyd an open supporter of Cagle's Democratic opponent in the General Election, Carol Porter. The committee lashed out at Boyd for not producing any evidence to back up his charges.
