Ethics Commission probes Haley money

(AP) -- The State Ethics Commission has opened a public inquiry into Gov. Nikki Haley's campaign finances.

The allegations are detailed in a complaint obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press and confirmed by Commission Executive Director Herb Hayden. The Commission set a hearing for July 18.

The complaint accuses Haley of failing to maintain proper records of donors' occupations. It also says the Republican didn't disclose addresses for six campaign contributors.

Last month, a circuit judge dismissed a lawsuit accusing Haley of breaking ethics laws while she was a legislator, saying such issues should be handled by either state ethics officials or a legislative panel.

Haley has said she would not waive confidentiality to any legislative ethics investigation.

A Haley spokesman did not immediately comment Tuesday on the commission investigation.
