Hmm... There seems to be an epidemic. B-Rod was a little more blatant, but he was stupid. This guy was apparently smart enough to become House Speaker; you'd think he could avoid this sort of thing. Really...
Come on, guys... two elections in a row, and you STILL can't clean up after your own dogs?
Embattled Fla. House speaker steps down for now -- AP.
The speaker of Florida's House of Representatives says he's stepping down to deal with legal issues stemming from a probe of his lucrative job at a state college.
Speaker Ray Sansom said Friday that a fellow Republican will replace him at least until he resolves his legal issues.
Sansom faces investigations by a grand jury and the state ethics commission after taking a $110,000-a-year job at Northwest Florida State College the same day he became speaker. Critics say the job was payback for channeling more than $25 million to the school.
He has also been accused of putting $6 million in the 2007 budget for an aircraft hangar to benefit a supporter.
Sansom has served in the Legislature since 2002. He stepped down from the university job earlier this month.
