An independent investigator has recommended an ethics complaint against Gilbert Town Council Member Bobbi Buchli be dismissed.
The complaint was the first of at least eight filed against various council members during July and August. This complaint from Gilbert resident Maureen Hoppe, actually filed jointly against Buchli and Council Member Jim Torgeson, accused the two of failing to correct misinformation they had spread, resulting in harassment of Hoppe.
Hoppe, who had been a precinct committee member for Arizona Legislative District 14 Republicans, had challenged Torgeson and Buchli for their stances on apartments and a citizen-suggested pay raise for the mayor and council members.
