violations of elections and campaign laws.
Public misconduct cases investigated and prosecuted by
the OAG include charges of theft, possession of child
pornography, receiving bribes, welfare and food stamp
fraud, embezzlement, carrying a concealed firearm,
oppression under color of office, and misconduct by a
public officer.
State employees who report public integrity violations
