This is what Democrat Senate Leader Darrell Steinberg had for Senator Ron Calderon, indicted on twenty four counts. “Southern California State Sen. Ron Calderon would do everyone a favor if he’d just quit. That’s the message California state Senate President Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, is sending to the indicted lawmaker”
Yet Democrat Steinberg has said NOTHING about getting rid of Senator Rod Wright CONVICTED on eight felony counts. Why is he allowing Wright to stay and Calderon is being forced to leave? Don’t the Democrats believe a man is innocent until proven guilty? Don’t they believe a person convicted guilty is a felon?
Senate ready to toss out one of its own
Central Valley Business Times, 2/22/14
Southern California state Sen. Ron Calderon would do everyone a favor if he’d just quit. That’s the message California state Senate President Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, is sending to the indicted lawmaker.
And if he doesn’t quit, says Mr. Steinberg, the Senate will vote to suspend him.
Mr. Calderon was indicted Friday by a federal grand jury on multiple charges including taking $100,000 in cash bribes to influence legislation.
“Given the seriousness of charges that strike at the very heart of what it means to be a public official, Senator Calderon’s continued service is a cloud over all the important work that we must get done this year,” Mr. Steinberg says in a written statement.
There was no immediate word from Mr. Calderon.
