Senator Mark Wyland
Yesterday three GOP State Senators — Joel Anderson, Steve Knight, and Andy Vidak — called for an immediate vote to remove Senator Rod Wright from the Senate. Early last week Wright was convicted on eight felony counts related to the fact that he did not actually live in the district he ran in and represented. Wright faces up to eight years in state prison.
I just received a call from State Senator Mark Wyland — followed up with an email. He wanted to let me (and FlashReport readers) know that he has read the letter that was sent in from his three colleagues (you can read it here) and fully supports every word of it. In fact had he known about the letter (he was in his district) he would have signed it with the others. Wyland said that he will personally communicate his wishes for an immediate vote on the removal of Rod Wright directly to Senate President Darrell Steinberg tomorrow.
