Hillsborough County execs hit with ethics complaints

Tampa, Florida -- Hillsborough's County Administrator, County Attorney, and a County Commissioner have all had ethics complaints filed against them.

The complaints filed against County Attorney Renee Lee and County Administrator Pat Bean both revolve around 1 percent raises they received in 2007.

10 Connects Reporter Mike Deeson first reported on those raises last month. An audit showed that they received the raises without proper Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners approval.

Both of their raises have been rescinded.

Lee said the complaint isn't legitimate. Bean was unavailable Friday evening.

In a separate case, an ethics complaint has also been filed against Commissioner Kevin White in connection with a recent sexual harassment case in which he was found guilty.
