A retired telephone company executive has
been named to the state Ethics Commission by Attorney General Mike
Beebe.
Beebe held a news conference at his Little Rock office today to
announce his selection of Larry Ross of North Little Rock to
replace George Stancil on the commission.
Beebe had appointed Stancil to the commission in March, but he
died on July Fourth.
Ross is an Episcopalian minister who serves on the Philander
Smith College board of trusees and is a former member of the
Arkansas State University board.
The ethics panel monitors political and lobbyist activities,
investigates complaints and sanctions ethics violators, sometimes
drawing fire from those it regulates. Ross said he would be
even-handed.
