SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- The House Ethics Committee has released recordings of proceedings held last year for two state representatives.
The recordings released Monday include almost all testimony from witnesses who were called during the hearings for Reps. Greg Hughes and Phil Riesen. Some parts are redacted and the committee's deliberations aren't included.
Hughes, R-Draper, was cleared by the committee in October of six misconduct allegations made against him, including a claim that he offered as much as $50,000 in campaign money to former Republican Rep. M. Susan Lawrence if she would change her vote on a controversial school voucher bill in 2007.
Riesen, D-Holladay, also had a complaint lodged against him by Hughes for leaking the complaint against Hughes to reporters. Riesen also was cleared of wrongdoing.
