ATLANTA -- An ethics watchdog Tuesday asked Georgia’s attorney general and its inspector general to investigate Governor Sonny Perdue’s mingling of public and private business, reported the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

George Anderson wrote that Governor Perdue “has violated the public’s trust” by meeting with state employees to boost his trucking and grain businesses.

Perdue spokesman Bert Brantley said, “This is yet another frivolous complaint filed by Mr. Anderson, solely based on a news story that was full of speculation and innuendo, not facts.”
