Rep. Ney of Ohio Resigns From Congress

By DAVID HAMMER, Associated Press, November 3, 2006

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Bob Ney of Ohio, who pleaded guilty last month in the Jack Abramoff influence-peddling investigation resigned his seat in Congress on Friday.

The Ohio Republican, who had been pressed to quit by fellow lawmakers, sent a letter of resignation to House Speaker Dennis Hastert, according to Ney's chief of staff, David Popp.

Maybe now Congressman Mark Green will feel it's OK to ask his good buddy Ney to resign. He hasn't said a peep.
