(The Center Square) – Years after a watchdog group raised ethics questions about a former top Securities and Exchange Commission director, the agency's inspector general issued a report on the matter, but has yet to release it publicly.

The governor in a letter made public on Monday reversed a January decision by the state parole board, saying the murders were "especially heinous."
