City Clerk Judy McCorkle is threatening to lodge more complaints against City Council district 4 candidate Aaron Nicely, the SGA president who has filed both personal financial disclosure and campaign contribution disclosure forms with the state ethics commission rather than the city apparently as required by law. McCorkle said Thursday that she would be filing a complaint with the ethics commission if the documentation is not received by 5 p.m. today. SEC administrative analyst Debbie Young confirmed Nicely's account that the documents had been received on October 19.
State law requires that the documents be filed with the city clerk.
The George-Anne was unable to reach the SEC for comment as of press time. Additionally, Nicely stated that McCorkle had apologized to him for filing the complaints in error. McCorkle denies ever having apologized to Nicely. McCorkle also said that in her job as the Election Superintendent that she is available to help all the candidates in any way possible, but she is not and will not be a baby-sitter to anyone. An analysis of Nicely's campaign records indicates other inconsistencies with statements made by him.
