From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

Milwaukee County Board Chairman Lee Holloway this afternoon resolved his long-running ethics case by admitting to six civil counts of failing to comply with the county ethics code.

Under the agreement with the county Ethics Board, Holloway will pay a $3,000 fine.

He admitted to filing faulty ethics forms from 1998 to 2003.

This follows a lengthy investigation and many legal proceedings regarding Holloway’s dealings with the now defunct social service agency Opportunities Industrialization Center of Greater Milwaukee (OIC). He is accused on failing to disclose his business relationship with the organization. Specifically, OIC paid Holloway $165,000 in what was called rent and purchase payments for a building at 2100 W. Atkinson Avenue. OIC, however, never used the building and titile to the property never changed. Holloway is also accused of a conflict of interest when he voted for $1.8 million in funding to go to OIC.
