he Arizona Corporation Commission is still without an ethics code, despite an initial pledge a year ago to come up with one and a federal bribery case casting a shadow over the regulatory body. Chairman Tom Forese first announced a plan to create a code of ethics one year ago, when it became public the FBI was looking into 2014 election spending involving former Commissioner Gary Pierce.
The conversation about creating a code of ethics reignited again after Pierce was indicted in May for an alleged bribery scheme unrelated to election spending.
