Wonder if he's taking his fancy office with him.

1. Beat me by two seconds

I deleted my thread on it.

2. No problem.

They are getting that little crook out of the way so he won't be a thorn in the side when it comes to other corruption issues in the election. Too bad because there are others I'm sure who are just not as ostentatious about the money grubbing they do.

12. No problem, I didn't want your OP to be sidetracked...

It's rare, sadly, when a repub is held to account to the extent they are forced to resign so your OP is good news indeed.

13. His last name should be Schlock.

Another GOP loser.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]I'm always right. When I'm wrong I admit it.
So then I'm right about being wrong.[/center][/font][hr]

15. One less GOP loser...

but will probably be replaced by yet another one, unfortunately.

10. Good

Hopefully there will be criminal fraud charges for him billing for the reimbursement for tens of thousands of miles more than his car's odometer showed when he traded it in and the numerous other at best shady campaign finance issues he has had.

14. This is (was) my Representative

I'm sure the R's will find some other slimeball to represent us

16. Please report back... it would be interesting to read the local reporting

per the explanation for his resignation, and the local reporting about what comes next (special elections, etc.)
