In Carson City, the Nevada Commission on Ethics convened to deliberate on a complaint filed against Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve in April 2023, accusing her of not disclosing an attorney-client relationship. The Commission, hindered by a vacant seat, was split with a 2-2 vote, which resulted in no ethics violation being found for Mayor Schieve. Despite the outcome, the Commission will 'strongly encourage' Mayor Schieve to partake in ethics training. Mayor Schieve has since released a statement acknowledging the Commission's decision and appreciating the dismissal of what she considers unfounded accusations.
