Ethics inside the State House. Questionable

I have had all my children, and grand children of age be pages down at the State Capital. I've been working and volunteering my time for many years down their as well.

So I've seen so many wonderful things happen over the years, and also seen the bad and ugly too. For the last 5 years I haven't missed many State House or Senate session votes. I've watched one particular State House Rep. either show up extremely late for session or never show up at all. And I've seen other DeKalb State House Delegates cover for her time and time again. One week into this new session I was watching that same Politician not showing up. In disgust I mentioned it to my youngest grandchild and she told me if you keep turning a blinds eye, no one will ever know. So the next day I wrote an email to Joe Wilkinson the chairman of Ethics for the State House of Representatives and the State Ethics Commission over what I watched. Karla Drenner reaching over to vote on Michele Henson's voting machine.

A day later I got an email back from Joe Wilkinson's office that they were looking into the matter. Next think i know I got a call from my friend Ann that Michele Henson is strutting around the House of Representatives offices with my Emails in her hand (from Joe Wilkinson's office and the State Ethics Commission). Telling everyone that she's the victim of a witch hunt, and Joe told her he'd cover for her. She went on to tell everyone that if i send another email to Joe Wilkinson's office, he'd call the GBI because I'm harrassing a public figure. So if you see a State House Rep doing something extremely Wrong be warned, you may be investigated by the GBI in the end.
