GETTING SERIOUS

We probably haven’t heard the last of Rep.
Katherine
Harris
‘s $2,000-plus dinner with former defense contractor
Mitchell Wade
. In fact, now that Rep.
Alan
Mollohan
(D-WV) has resigned from the House Ethics
Committee, there is talk that Harris’s relationship with Wade may
become a full blown ethics investigation. And the request may come
from Republicans.
/p>
“We have to get the ethics investigation up and running,” says a senior House leadership aide. “We have cases like Harris, Mollohan, as well as some House Democratic leadership issues to look into. We have to let the American people know that we take these kinds of charges and situations seriously. The Senate should do the same. They could easily look at Harry Reid and his relationship to Jack Abramoff, as well as the activities of several Senate Republicans, and send a clear message to the American people.”
