PP contract & Hassan/Van Ostern ethics: “unofficial sources” yawn

Darlene Pawlik, New Hampshire citizen, thought there was something fishy about politicians taking campaign funds from one branch of Planned Parenthood and then supporting state contracts with another PP branch. She recently filed an ethics complaint with the Executive Branch Ethics Committee, asking that the committee look into those fishy actions by Governor Maggie Hassan and Executive Councilor Colin Van Ostern.

Dave Solomon in the New Hampshire Sunday News reports today that the committee has dismissed the complaint. His report is tucked way down in the “State House Dome” column, although there’s a teaser on Page One.

“The news that Pawlik’s complaint was dismissed came from unofficial sources, since all complaints are considered behind closed doors, unless the committee decides to conduct an investigation.”

Golly! Who saw that result coming?
