Marine Glisovic with our content partner, KATV Ch. 7 News, reports:

An ethics complaint has been filed against State Treasurer Dennis Milligan by attorney and Blue Hog Report blogger, Matt Campbell.

Campbell tells Channel 7 he filed it on Thursday morning, however, Milligan’s spokesman Grant Wallace tells KATV he was unaware that a complaint had been filed until we sought a statement.

In the complaint, Campbell cites 14 allegations stating that Milligan knowingly and intentionally violated various provisions of Arkansas law and then knowingly attempted to cover up those violations; most of the allegations cite campaign activity.

Some of the allegations include:

Milligan knowingly hiring two spouses of State Representatives

Milligan making promises of employment for campaign work to seven individuals

Campaigning by Milligan using his publicly furnished office while Saline County Clerk

Intentionally misstating original ethics filings to hide campaign workers’ identities

Using his Saline County office fax machine for personal horse racing business
