Another Republican in Trouble

From Philly.com:

CONVICTED LEGISLATOR: Rep. Jeff Habay, a six-term Republican lawmaker from Allegheny County, appeared on the House floor, a day after being convicted of making his legislative staff do political campaign work on state time.

Habay, 39, could be removed from office by the state Legislature because of the felony conviction for conflict of interest. Habay also faces a second trial next year on 21 counts that allege he concocted a story about receiving a suspicious white powder in the mail and directed his staff to investigate his adversaries on state time.

Other sources for this story include CBS, and CentreDaily. I'm shocked!!!! Is the entire Republican Party corrupt???? Here in Ohio, we have our share of unethical Republican elected officials----Gov. Bob Taft, Rep. Bob Ney, Coingate-Republican Tom Noe, ....Please check the complete list at http://www.waynemadsenreport.com/gopscorecard.htm
