Helena Independent Record – July 16, 2008
Campaign-finance and ethics complaints against Public Service Commissioner Brad Molnar, R-Laurel, are proceeding at the Office of Political Practices, although no ruling on the merits has occurred.
Commissioner of Political Practices Dennis Unsworth said the campaign-finance complaint is still under investigation, and that the ethics complaint will be handled by an independent hearings officer.
Unsworth said he’s not sure in which order the cases will proceed, or when they’ll be resolved. Complaints before the office usually take at least a few months to be resolved — and sometimes a year or more.
Both complaints were filed by Mary Jo Fox, campaign manager for Molnar’s Democratic opponent, Ron Tussing of Billings.,
Molnar is running for re-election in PSC District 2, which covers 10 counties in southeastern Montana, including Yellowstone.
