Ethics complaints targeting both former Governor Charlie Crist and Governor Rick Scott have been dismissed.

The Florida Commission on Ethics says it found no legal reason to investigate the complaints.

The commission tossed out a complaint filed by a top Republican Party of Florida official that alleged Crist misused his office in December 2010 when he appointed a partner in the Morgan & Morgan law firm to a panel that nominates judges for appointment.

The ethics panel also threw out a complaint filed against Scott over investments his blind trust made in an oil service company that had ties to a company that applied for permits in Collier County.
