EXPULSION
STATE AND INCIDENT
PROCEDURE FOLLOWED
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION
FINAL ACTION
ALASKA
In 1982, Sen. George H. Hohman, Jr. was convicted of felonious bribery and receiving a bribe for offering to share a $20,000 bribe with another legislator in return for a vote in favor of the state purchasing two Canadian firefighting planes. He was sentenced to three years in prison.
The 6-member Senate Rules Committee (3 private citizens and 3 senators) reviewed the record of the jury trial and took testimony from Sen. Hohman, witnesses on his behalf, and his attorney.
The committee found that the jury's verdict and the evidence presented to the committee clearly established that Sen. Hohman intentionally violated “the most fundamental of his duties, which are to safeguard the public trust and to preserve the integrity of this body.”
Expulsion by adoption of Senate Resolution (16-4).
ARIZONA
In 1991, Sen. Carolyn Walker was one of 11 legislators indicted in a year-long undercover operation on vote selling. Sen. Walker was videotaped taking money from a paid informant for her support of legislation that would have legalized casino gambling. The legislation did not pass.
The Senate referred the matter to the five-member Ethics Committee, which adopted rules for receiving and investigating complaints.
The Senate retained special counsel to advise the Senate and the committee and to conduct a preliminary investigation into the allegations against Sen. Walker. Counsel reported his findings and recommended that the committee issue a complaint charging Sen. Walker with unethical conduct.
The committee issued the complaint, held two public hearings on it, and subsequently issued a report to the Senate.
The committee found that Sen. Walker engaged in unethical conduct in violation of Senate rules and personal and state campaign finance disclosure laws.
It unanimously recommended that Sen. Walker, the majority whip, be expelled.
Expulsion.
ARKANSAS
In 1974, Sen. Guy H. Jones was expelled after a 1972 conviction on federal tax fraud charges.
