HB 507 - As Introduced - Convicted felon ineligible for office By preventing a convicted felon from running for a public office, the bill would eliminate any filing fee revenues that could be generated from such candidates, and could eliminate potential legal and/or additional election costs that could arise under current law if a convicted felon were to run for a public office and win. Under the bill, a person who is convicted of a felony is generally prohibited from being a candidate for, or an appointee to, an office of honor, trust, or profit. There could also be a negligible decrease in the cost of printing ballots because a convicted felon would not have to be included on each ballot as a candidate for public office. www.lbo.state.oh.us /123ga/fiscalnotes/123ga/HB0507IN.HTM   (333 words)

Republicans' use of felon voting as a factor in their lawsuit has been countered by state Democrats, who say Republicans must show not only that felons voted illegally, but that if their votes were subtracted from each candidate's total, Rossi would have won. Washington prohibits felons from voting not only while they are in prison but until they have met all court-imposed obligations including community service and the payment of restitution and fines. seattletimes.nwsource.com /html/localnews/2002158407_felons23m.html   (2364 words)

US Government's Ultimate Database Run By A Felon Imagine a huge, absolutely huge, central database containing both the official and commercial data of every single citizen, run by the US military ostensibly for anti-terror and Homeland Security purposes, and all of it under the direction of a convicted felon.

'Restaurant' co-owner Jeffrey Chodorow: convicted felon with long legal history - Reality TV World - News, information, ...

Simpson), has moved his prinicpal residence to Florida, which permits individuals to keep their "homesteads" regardless of value in the case of personal bankruptcy.

Walsh Iran / Contra Report - Chapter 3 United States v. John M. Poindexter President Reagan was compelled at trial to state, as he had previously, that he repeatedly told his aides to obey the law and that he was unaware of their criminal acts. The Poindexter appeals panel also overturned the two obstruction convictions on the grounds that the statute was ``unconstitutionally vague'' in its proscription of ``corruptly'' endeavoring to impede a congressional inquiry. What his conviction showed was that a jury of ordinary citizens can sort and weigh complex evidence and agree that obstructing and lying to Congress is a serious act worthy of felony conviction. www.fas.org /irp/offdocs/walsh/chap_03.htm   (6662 words)

Hashimoto Elevates Convicted Felon in Ministerial Reshuffle Analysts said Hashimoto's appointment of Koko Sato, who was convicted of taking bribes in the massive Lockheed scandal of 1976, was a political gift to the conservative Old Guard in his Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), which had lobbied vigorously for Sato. The support of that conservative wing, led by powerful former prime minister Yasuhiro Nakasone, is crucial to the success of the fiscal, administrative and defense reforms upon which Hashimoto has staked his political future. Sato was convicted in 1982 of accepting about $15,000 in bribes in a scandal in which the Lockheed Corp. was attempting to influence Japanese lawmakers to purchase aircraft for its civilian fleet. www-tech.mit.edu /V117/N41/hashimoto.41w.html   (692 words)
