| Description | CARSON CITY, Nev. -- Nevada Controller Kathy Augustine was impeached by the state Assembly Thursday for using her state-paid office workers and equipment to help run her 2002 re-election campaign.
In a series of 42-0 voice votes, the Assembly sent three articles of impeachment to the state Senate, where a trial will be held to determine whether Augustine will be removed from office.
Augustine admitted in September to three violations of state ethics laws and was fined $15,000 by the state Ethics Commission, which then turned the case over to lawmakers.
The Senate was expected to convene Friday to accept the Assembly's report. At that point, the two-term Republican controller must temporarily step down from the post she's held since 1998. |
