Sikes Loses Key Chairmanship Over Ethics Reform Push
Rep. Robert L.F. Sikes was stripped as chairman of the House Appropriations subcommittee on military construction after a 189 93 caucus vote. Reform advocates, led by Rep. Tim Wirth and Rep. Michael Harrington, hailed the move as a boost to ethics reform, while Sikes and supporters framed it as anti defense.
