After a thorough review, the ethics committee found that Shuler’s actions “were not improper in any way and did not violate House Rules,” and has closed the matter without further action, Shuler said.

“Throughout my personal and professional life I have always held myself to the highest possible ethical standard,” Shuler said in a written statement. “I maintained that standard through all my interactions with the TVA relating to Blackberry Cove. I have never and will never attempt to use my office for personal gain and look forward to continuing to work on behalf of the people of Western North Carolina.”
