Forsyth County commissioners received largely positive responses on plans to revamp the ethics board during a Thursday meeting. The first of two public hearings on the issue drew three speakers who supported the concept of bringing in out-of-county attorneys to rule on local ethics complaints. Instead of having five county residents appointed to the panel, the model would change to a pool of outside lawyers to be called in on an as-needed basis, Forsyth County Attorney Ken Jarrard said.
