Five Clark County Commissioners Found Guilty of Ethics Violations, Job Loss Unlikely

Five Clark County Commissioners have been found guilty of violating Nevada's ethics rules. The commissioners accepted free tickets for the 2023 Vegas Formula One race without full disclosure. Despite this, they are unlikely to lose their jobs due to mitigating factors.

The Clark County Commission (CCC) agreed to establish a policy limiting event attendance to ceremonial or educational purposes. The commissioners, who accepted tickets worth $10,900 for all four days of the inaugural event, listed them on their expense reports with legitimate government purposes. However, they failed to mention the tickets when relevant agenda items were discussed. The Nevada Commission on Ethics found that this constituted a non-willful violation of state ethics law.

To improve transparency and compliance, the CCC committed to systemic changes. They agreed to appoint a county ethics officer with the power of an assistant county manager to oversee ethics education and compliance. The commissioners involved were Jim Gibson, Justin Jones, William McCurdy II, Tick Segerblom, and Ross Miller.

The CCC's actions have led to a guilty verdict for five commissioners. However, they are unlikely to face job loss due to mitigating factors. The commission has agreed to strengthen its ethics policies and oversight to prevent future violations.
