Ethics commission chides Peachtree City mayor

PEACHTREE CITY - A Peachtree City ethics commission has given Mayor Steve Brown a wrist-slapping for letting a city employee drive his daughter to golf camp. <br> <br> Brown had filed the ethics complaint against himself. <br> <br> The commission ordered Brown yesterday to pay the city employee for 30 minutes of her time. It also told him not to do it again. <br> <br> Brown said he filed the complaint in part because he feared one of his detractors would do it first. <br> <br> Brown had planned to drive his daughter himself, but found out that a council meeting was scheduled at the same time on July 24th. So, a City Hall employee volunteered to drive his daughter to the golf course. <br> <br> Later, city manager Jim Basinger told Brown he might have violated the ethics law. Brown apologized and offered to reimburse the city.
