OH-15: Kilroy Challenges Pryce To Strip Ney's Pension

Dem candidate Mary Jo Kilroy challenged GOP Rep. Deborah Pryce today to strip disgraced Congressman Bob Ney of his pension. In a press release posted on her website, Kilroy accused Pryce, the fourth-ranking member of the House, of "not moving beyond rhetoric and taking decisive action to strip Ney of his pension." Although he has plead guilty to federal corruption charges, Ney has not only refused to to leave Congress, but will also be eligible to recieve his Congressional pension after he serves his prison sentence. Pryce has joined other Republicans in calling for Ney to resign, but has made no mention of his pension. Her reaction to the challenge could provide a signal as to whether attempts by Democrats to turn GOP corruption into a national issue will have any traction in November.
