Ethics panel dismisses complaint against Hart in exchange for loss of vice-chairmanship
Rep. Rich Wills, R-Glenns Ferry, moved that no further action be taken against Rep. Phil Hart by the House Ethics Committee, and the complaints are now considered resolved by the committee. "I believe what we've observed here today on Rep. Hart has just been a huge concession on Rep. Hart's side," he said. "Looking at all the things that have happened in the last two days, I believe that there has been a great deal of resolution."
Rep. Dell Raybould seconded the motion, saying it's in recognition that Hart has now voluntarily withdrawn as vice chairman of the House transportation committee. The motion then passed unanimously.
