Buzz: Speaker Ray Sansom will step aside today
January 30, 2009 at 12:20 pm by Wayne GarciaRepublican Speaker of the House Ray Sansom could be gone by the end of the day, the victim of aggressive reporting and his own actions in steering state money to a college where he later took a lucrative job.
The Buzz blog says Rep. Larry Cretul would take over temporarily as Sansom gives up his speakership. The deal is supposed to include a provision that Sansom could have the job back if he is cleared in all the criminal and ethics probes that are just starting.
