| Description | A state House panel found today that Rep. Thomas Wright violated ethics rules in a series of political and private dealings that the panel’s chairman called “breathtaking” in its level of fraud.
By unanimous votes, the panel adopted six counts related to Wright’s handling of $350,000 from his campaign, a charity and three corporations. The panel withdrew two other counts, but reserved its right to act on them, reports David Ingram of The Charlotte Observer.
The votes set up the possibility of the legislature expelling a member for the first time since the 19th century. The six-member, bipartisan panel is scheduled to reconvene at 6:30 p.m. to consider recommending a punishment to the full House. |
