Kentucky Congressman Wants Rangel To Resign
KENTUCKY....
At least two House Democrats, Congressmen John Yarmuth of Kentucky and Zack Space of Ohio, are calling on embattled Representative Charlie Rangel to resign. A House ethics panel made its tax and disclosure violation charges against Rangel public this week, but Rangel denies the charges and says the indictment contains factual errors. House Democrats heading home for their August recess are wrestling with how to handle the matter in their districts. Yarmuth and Space say the 13 charges of ethics violations against Rangel show a pattern of disregard for House rules, and undermine the public's trust in Congress.
