Cincinnati sets up ethics group
BY LUCY MAY
The Cincinnati Enquirer
In the wake of the Salt Lake City Olympic bribery scandal, the group working to bring the 2012 Summer Olympics to Cincinnati has formed an ethics panel to oversee its operations.
Cincinnati 2012 Inc.'s ethics committee will be chaired by federal appeals court Judge Nathaniel Jones and Joseph Tomain, dean of the University of Cincinnati College of Law.
“It's imperative that we do this, and I'm really glad we've taken the initiative rather than waiting to have it mandated,” said Joseph Hale, president of the Cinergy Foundation and the newly appointed chairman of Cincinnati 2012. “It just sends the right signal.”
Cincinnati 2012 President Nick Vehr said in a statement the panel was created “to ensure the trust and confidence of citizens of this region.”
In the coming months, the ethics committee will develop a code of conduct for everyone associated with the group's efforts. The panel also will consider disclosing financial information related to the group's efforts.
Cincinnati 2012 also announced Mr. Hale's appointment as chairman Thursday.
Mr. Hale has more than 20 years' experience working with amateur athletics and has been on the Cincinnati 2012 board since the group was formed in 1996.
He replaces James E. Rogers, president and CEO of the Cinergy Corp., and William Keating Sr., co-chairmen of the group's board since April 1998.
