Here was Atkins’ reaction to the Ethics Committee report…
“I’m a little disappointed. I didn’t get a chance to appear before the committee, which is my right, and I don’t understand why.” – Representative John Atkins
Here is page 2 of the Ethics Committee report…
Pursuant to the Ethics Rules (Ethics Rule 8(a) (2)), Mr. Atkins was afforded the opportunity to meet with the investigators and we met with Mr. Atkins and his attorney.
