NV Legislature: How 57 people ended one lawmaker's pattern of misconduct
This is how the Dem-lead Nevada Senate handled a slimeball Dem state senator. From the rumors I've heard, this guy's behavior was a known pattern for quite a while. Even though the Senate has switched from Dems to Reps and back again, none of the leaders ever dealt with this guy until until the Democratic Majority Leader actually took some action during the 2017 session.
Thought I'd offer this as a comparison to how Sen Franken's case was (mis)handled.
