Determination of jurisdiction of complaint filed by David Waggoner against the Ethics Commission for alleged failure to provide the requested records of the Tony Hall investigation.

Richard Moe, Ethics Commission Director of Investigations, said the Task Force does not have jurisdiction because state code 6254 (b) prevents the Ethics Commission from turning over documents involving an active investigation. Mr. Waggoner, he added, may only receive certain documents during the discovery phase because some papers are not subject to disclosure. David Waggoner, Complainant, arrived during Mr. Moe's testimony and said the he agreed with the City Attorney's jurisdictional letter and urged the committee to find that there is jurisdiction.
