Wright and Calderon on Paid Leave

State Senator Lieu:

Yes, you voted against a referral of a resolution to expel Wright.

But Wright is still in office.

And as for Ron Calderon, he has gone on paid administrative leave.

He  wants to challenge the charges and see the evidence against him first.

Sen, Ron Calderon:
Indicted on paid leave.

The President of the State Senate, Darrell Steinberg, has pressured Calderon to resign.

He was only indicted for corruption.

Yet Wright was already convicted of eight counts.

Eight!

Sen. Roderick Wright:
Convicted, on paid leave.

Senator Lieu, I am well-aware that you voted against the referral of the resolution to expel.

But the work is not done yet.

And will not be done until both Wright and Calderon no longer "serve" in the state senate.

I will continue to ask you and your colleagues, both Republican and Democrat, to move to remove these two state senators. They should not be drawing a salary, and if Calderon is convicted as well, then neither of them should be receiving a pension, either!

One good vote, so far. . .
But they remain on paid leave. . .
