These ethics commitees will stand in the way on a long (dis)honored group of public servants. I say we do away with any group that may interfere with the commissioners interfereing.

Ethics laws ALREADY exist for elected officials and there is a statewide ethics commission. The only power this Inspector General will have will be to investigate potential issues and when he/she finds something, charge them with a violation of the new county ordinance, only a SECOND DEGREE MISDEMEANOR, which is punishable only by a maximum of 60 DAYS IN JAIL OR SIX MONTHS PROBATION. Should the county be spending all this money to duplicate something which already exists with no real teeth in order to "save face" amongst voters and to help the new state attorney with his political career? I think not! This is a complete joke and a political play by the new, inexperienced and way over his head state attorney and scary local politicians.
