Technical problem stops Ethics Commission hearing

RENO -- Technical difficulties forced cancellation today of the teleconferenced meeting of the state Ethics Commission to hear the complaint of Assembly candidate Earlene Forsythe against her opponent, Francis Allen, in District 37 in Clark County.
The commission hearing was being held in the state Contractors Board offices in Henderson and Reno. But the audio received in Reno was muffled and sporadic.
Commission Chairman Todd Russell said the hearing would be scheduled for next week in Las Vegas.
Forsythe, who lost by nine votes, has filed a complaint that Allen distributed defamatory and false campaign fliers about her and her husband Dr. James Forsythe.
She said the fliers and campaign telephone calls suggested that Dr. Forsythe was a "quack," that she and her husband overcharged cancer and dying patients and that the couple operated a ring of cancer clinics that use alternative medicine on desperately ill people.
Forsythe says the allegations are false and show malice.
