recommended fine. I have talked with Mr. Kent L. <br />Weissinger, Assistant Attorney General in charge of ethics <br />violations, and it was our mutual understanding of the law <br />that the Board of County Commissioners may take any action <br />it wishes, between fining the respondent the maximum of <br />$300.00 to taking no action on the recommendation of the <br />Commission on Ethics. The law is ambiguous concerning the <br />power of the Attorney General's Office to step in and <br />require enforcement on the Commission on Ethics' required <br />order. <br />am placing this matter before the County Commission for an <br />indication from the Board as to how it wishes to proceed. <br />State of Florida <br />`•Comnussion 6thics <br />Room 2105, The Capitol • P.O.
