House Ethics Committee recommends reprimand for Rep. Sikes
The House ethics committee, in its eight year history, recommends a reprimand for Rep. Robert L. F. Sikes over alleged misuse of office for personal gain. The Florida Democrat faced charges from Common Cause for stock in Fairchild Industries and legislation aiding a Florida land group near his property, plus Navy Bank shares connected to Pensacola NAS. The panel found him guilty of misconduct in all three areas and could have urged harsher penalties. The recommendation awaits full House vote. Sikes did not respond.

The California Highway Patrol tied the May 21 tragedy to a worn air brake compressor belt on the charter bus. Laboratory tests showed the old belt snapped, depriving brakes of air pressure and causing the crash that killed 28 choir members and a chaperone. The belt likely broke over 30 minutes before the accident, officials said.
