On the day that the State Ethics Commission released an order finding James Ellison in violation of the Public Offical and Employee Ethics Act for actions he took during his tenure as Chairman of The Harrisburg Authority, the Harrisburg Mayor is asked for her reaction to the findings.

She claims to have not seen the Order and tersely elaborates on her support of Ellison's 2007 appointment to the Authority.

She says she supported him, "at that time, bottom line, to clean up The Harrisburg Authority." Not only did Thompson support his appointment when she was on City Council, but she also had Ellison serve as her campaign treasurer for both her City Council and Mayoral campaigns.---Tara Leo Auchey
