Politics Lawyer targets Preston Smith with ethics complaint about legislative staffer relationship

Poor Alan Faircloth is a victim of big guv'ment.
The Atlanta lawyer tried to hit state Sen. Preston Smith with an ethics complaint involving the GOP attorney general candidate's relationship with a legislative aide — and inquire about alleged drinking on the upper chamber's floor — and got lost in the bureaucratic maze legislators have created for Gold Dome staffers.
Dale Russell has the details:
Smith is the self-proclaimed conservative warrior who's facing former Cobb Commission Chairman Sam Olens in an Aug. 10 runoff for the GOP AG nomination. Atlanta Unfiltered's Jim Walls reported this morning that Olens needs to step up his filing of disclosures.
