DEMOCRAT
Two days after he was convicted of eight felonies for perjury and voter fraud, California state Sen. Roderick Wright introduced a bill that would allow some nonviolent felonies to be converted to misdemeanors.
A spokeswoman for Sen. Wright said the bill was "not intended to apply to Wright's own case", but she needed to "consult with experts to determine whether it technically could have applied".
Wright has been stripped of a committee chairmanship, but still sits on the Senate budget, energy and human services committees and can push bills through the process as a senator in good standing.
