Senate Finds Controller Guilty on 1 of 3 Counts
- Share via
The Nevada Senate convicted the state controller of using state equipment for her 2002 reelection campaign, but dismissed two other counts that could have led to her removal from office.
Senators voted to issue a censure -- an official reprimand -- against Kathy Augustine after convicting the two-term Republican in a 14-7 vote, the minimum two-thirds majority needed.
Special prosecutor Dan Greco said he could not justify asking senators to oust Augustine, but had suggested that she be suspended for two months.
