State Sen. Rod Wright submitted his resignation Monday after he was sentenced last week to three months in jail for lying about where he lived when he ran for office.
Wright, a Democrat from Los Angeles County, was convicted of perjury in January for lying about his residence and later was suspended with pay from the Senate.
During the sentencing in Los Angeles last week, Superior Court Judge Kathleen Kennedy said Wright is no longer eligible to hold public office.

So when you are fired you are allowed to resign? Only in the public sector!
Convicted in January but we paid him until now.
Seems to me that democrats don’t usually eat their own. He must have gotten a bit to big for his britches and didn’t play nice with someone. After all, little details like living in the wrong district, or making secret deals with the wrong drug cartel, are just minor offenses to the sociopaths of California politics.
I would bet he will be allowed to keep his million dollar retirement, and will collect a ton of money. Who says crime doesn't pay?
It happens a lot in the private sector and some schooling too. They push for you to resign instead of be fired when they feel you deserve a second chance and not the term fired on your résumé.
“Seems to me that democrats dont usually eat their own.”
He’s one of the few remaining Blacks in the CA legislature. The Mexicans, now that they have a firm grasp on our legislative houses, are throwing the Blacks under the bus whenever they are able. They probably can’t wait to give Yee the heave ho, but Calderon will be another story. Yee, Wright, and Calderon, the “rainbow coalition of crookedness” in the CA Senate. These guys are hurting the RAT agenda, because with them on the bench, the RAT Senate isn’t able to steamroller the RINOs and do whatever they want.
Usually not after criminal convictions.
I stated this in an earlier thread, this is just more evidence to bear out the fact that corruption in the democrat party is so rampant because the light penalties makes it worth the risk.
Nah, I’ve always made them fire me. The resignation stuff makes you look like a quitter.
And you have to explain a resignation too. Although the implications that you didn’t like your job are less than losing your previous job for misconduct or negligence.
Frankly, in a job interview when somebody asks me why or how the job ended, I just say “it didn’t work out”.
I work on database stuff. Pretty much everything is either a death march or the founders cash in and throw everybody overboard when the product gets working. Or I come into something that was hacked on for years and when it gets stable and not crashing daily the people think “what do we need this guy for?”
Just the nature of the beast.
