Tuesday, KCAL-9 and the OC Weekly reported that California assemblyman Michael Duvall, a “family values” Republican, was caught admitting to having affairs with married lobbyists. Now, the Orange County Register is reporting that Duvall has decided to resign:
Orange County Assemblyman Mike Duvall, R-Yorba Linda, just resigned from office after a huge uproar from both sides of the aisle over a tape of him bragging about affairs with two Sacramento lobbyists.
“I am deeply saddened that my inappropriate comments have become a major distraction for my colleagues in the Assembly, who are working hard on the very serious problems facing our state. I have come to the conclusion that it would not be fair to my family, my constituents or to my friends on both sides of the aisle to remain in office. Therefore, I have decided to resign my office, effective immediately, so that the Assembly can get back to work.”
And there is more. It's not over for the spanking lawmaker:
Progressive Group Wants Duvall "Sex-For-Votes" Probe
A progressive California group is calling for an investigation into whether "Hot Mike" Duvall sold his votes for sex.
"A vice-chairman of the Committee on Utilities and Commerce was literally in bed with Sempra Energy's lobbyist," said Rick Jacobs of the Courage Campaign in a statement. "Assemblyman Duvall's 'sex for votes' affairs have cheated Californians out of honest government. We call on the attorney general to investigate Mr. Duvall to see if he can be prosecuted for selling his votes."
