US EditionAnother ethics complaint has been filed against Nevada Lt. Gov. Stavros Anthony
An ethics complaint alleges Lt. Gov. Stavros Anthony used a government-linked social media account to promote his book and campaign endorsements, potentially violating state law.
- Last week, an ethics complaint alleges Nevada Lieutenant Governor Stavros Anthony used his office's X account to promote his book Nights of Fire, published Nov. 27, for personal financial benefit.
- The X account resembled an official government page and initially linked to the state website before switching; screenshots show it posted campaign endorsements including for Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill, and Anthony's lieutenant governor's office said it has been his personal page since 2012.
- The lieutenant governor's office has been embroiled in controversy for several months, including a summer ethics issue over transgender athlete task force use and a November complaint about chief of staff Rudy Pamintuan forwarded to the state's ethics commission.
- First, the state's ethics commission must confidentially review the complaint to determine if an ethics issue exists before an adjudicatory hearing; if violations are found, penalties can include training, civil fines upwards of $5,000 or removal petitions.
- Instead of accepting a deferral, Nevada Lieutenant Governor Stavros Anthony declined to accept a deferral and asked the state ethics panel to further consider the complaint as he heads into a re-election bid amid recent staff changes.
