On Tuesday, commissioner Tick Segerblom posted to Twitter the letter he received from the ethics commission.<\/a> Ross Miller, Justin Jones, and Jim Gibson then confirmed to the R-J <\/em>that they had received similar notices.<\/p>\n

\n

The complaints, filed on June 12, accuse the commissioners of violating a Nevada law prohibiting state employees from accepting gifts or using their position in government to secure privileges unnecessary to fulfill their jobs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"According to the R-J,<\/em> all seven members of the Clark County Commission, the Las Vegas Strip\u2019s governing body, received an offer from F1 for a free ticket to the race\u2019s Skybox area.<\/p>\n

Commissioners Marilyn Kirkpatrick and Michael Naft declined. Segerblom, Jones, Miller, Gibson, and William McCurdy accepted the offer.<\/p>\n

McCurdy didn’t confirm to the R-J<\/em> whether he was also under investigation.<\/p>\n

In January, Segerblom described attending the race to the R-J<\/em> as \u201ceducational.\u201d<\/p>\n

The county — its employees and residents — made the event happen and suffered lots of adverse consequences as a result,\u201d he told the newspaper. \u201cIf we\u2019re going to keep doing it for nine more years, we need to learn everything we can.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

McCurdy echoed Tegerblom\u2019s sentiment, stating that it would have been \u201cirresponsible for us to not see how it works.\u201d<\/p>\n

Segerblom was the only commissioner who attended the race without listing the tickets on his financial disclosure report. So, according to the R-J,<\/em> his complaint also charges him with insufficiently disclosing the gift.<\/p>\n

Segerblom told the R-J<\/em> that he filed an amended report in January to include the ticket, listing it under a section for reporting meetings, events, or trips.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Nevada Commission on Ethics is an eight-member panel appointed by the governor and legislative commission to investigate ethics violations by state government officials and employees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
