Measure to Strip Suspended Lawmakers' Pay Misses Ballot

This spring, the State Senate temporarily booted Democrats Leland Yee, Ron Calderon and Rod Wright out of the chamber. Yee and Calderon were facing federal corruption charges, while Wright was convicted of presenting false information to voters. But all three lawmakers continued to receive paychecks. The Senate passed a ballot measure to change that in May -- but since then, the bill has sat in the Assembly without a vote.
