Lawmaker pays $6,000 to settle ethics complaint

PROVIDENCE — A state lawmaker has agreed to pay $6,000 for failing to disclose details about his income in state filings.

Rep. Raymond Gallison Jr. failed to report more than $100,000 of income he received from an employer, The College Readiness Program. Gallison did not list the income over three years, starting in 2000.

Under the state ethics law, lawmakers must disclose the source of their income.

State Ethics Commission prosecutor Jason Gramitt says the commission voted today to accept the settlement. The commission isn’t recommending that the attorney general’s office prosecute Gallison.

Gallison, a Democrat from Bristol, wasn’t immediately available for comment.
