Ind. Gov't. - Unfortunate story at Indy 6News

Headed "Ethics Scandal Zaps Former Duke Energy Attorney:Scott Storms Stripped Of Law License, Fined," the story from last evening concludes:

The state ruled that Storms violated Indiana ethics laws.

The ethics commission fined Storms and stripped him of his law license.

Storms has since appealed the rulings.

Wrong. Mr. Storms remains "Active in Good Standing." The Roll of Attorneys indicates no pending discipline. And discipline of attorneys is carried out only by the Supreme Court and its Disciplinary Commission, NOT by the State Ethics Commission.
