Ethics panel admonishes Burris over Senate appointment
Sen. Roland Burris was rebuked today by the Senate Ethics Committee, which issued him a “public letter of qualified admonition” for his actions in connection with his appointment by disgraced Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
The letter informed Burris that the Senate committee had concluded that “your actions reflected unfavorably on the Senate.”
“The committee found that you should have known that you were providing incorrect, inconsistent, misleading or incomplete information to the public, the Senate and those conducting legitimate inquiries into your appointment to the Senate,” the letter said.
