ATLANTA — The head of the state ethics commission was placed on administrative leave with pay Friday, two days after a judge fined her $10,000 for failing to turn over key documents in a lawsuit against the agency and called her actions “dishonest and non-transparent.” Commission Chairwoman Hillary Stringfellow told The Associated Press that she notified the agency’s director, Holly LaBerge, on Friday morning that she had been placed on administrative leave until further notice. Stringfellow would only say the action followed the advice of counsel.
