Tell Governor McCrory to make the Ethics Commission Inquiry Public:

As the subject of a complaint filed with the State Ethics Commission you, Governor McCrory, have the power to make the inquiry public. Since you have repeatedly denied any wrong doing, you should have no reason to oppose a fully public process. 


I urge you to make the State Ethics Commission inquiry public and let the residents of North Carolina know what's really going on with their Governor.

    Background

    On Monday, January 12th, Progress NC Action filed an ethics complaint with the State Ethics Commission against Governor Pat McCrory. The complaint comes in light of an Associated Press investigation that found Governor McCrory accepted $180,000 from Tree.com, an online mortgage broker, shortly after being sworn in. Just weeks later McCrory appointed the Chairman of the Banking Commission, which regulates Tree.com, as well as a majority of the commission members. The Governor never properly reported the income on his ethics filings.

    That admission came after a report in 2014 that showed Governor McCrory owned Duke Energy stock after their coal ash spill and while his administration was formulating a response. McCrory had reported on ethics filings that he did not own Duke Energy stock, but we now know that wasn't true. 

    It's now been over fifty days since we filed our complaint. Tell Governor McCrory to make the investigation public!
