HeadlineApr 11, 2005

Also on Capitol Hill, House Majority Leader Tom Delay is coming under more criticism from within his own party. Congressman Chris Shays of Connecticut has called on Delay to resign as majority leader. Shays told the Associated Press “Tom’s conduct is hurting the Republican Party, is hurting this Republican majority and it is hurting any Republican who is up for re-election.” Last year the House Ethics Commission admonished Delay three times and more ethics questions involving Delay have arisen in recent weeks.
