That plan was first revealed by NewsChannel 5 Investigates.
Clarksville resident Barry Schmittou filed the complaint with the Tennessee Ethics Commission Tuesday over Ramsey's use of his office to develop the plan.
A member of the lieutenant governor's staff drew up the document. And the Blountville Republican admitted that it was shown to business interests inside his office to try to get them to put their money behind an effort to oust three Democratic appointees during the August election.
"I feel like average citizens are not being represented. The big business interests are overwhelming the power in government," Schmittou said.
Ramsey has denied that he cross any ethical boundaries in his attempt to put the court under Republican control.
