CARSON CITY -- The Nevada Senate on Saturday convicted the state controller of using state equipment for her 2002 re-election campaign, but dismissed two other counts that could have led to her removal from office.
Senators voted to issue a censure -- an official reprimand -- against Kathy Augustine after convicting the two-term Republican on a 14-7 vote -- the minimum two-thirds majority needed.
Augustine, the first state official impeached in Nevada history, was in tears after the other counts were dropped.

Trust me. It is an old campaign photo with lots of work. She doesn't look that good close up. This whole thing was a tempest in a teapot. She's ok at her job but several disgruntled employees pushed this issue. She has a rep for being a bit$h.

The Democrats control the Nevada State Legislature. The Govenor is a RINO. And the State Supreme Court is loaded with judicial activists who make the Supremes in the SCOFLAW look restrained.
