House Bank scandal reveals disbursing office abuses
The House Bank, not a real bank, used members salaries to cover overdrafts and cash checks for House staff and officials. It operated from 1837 for disbursement, with checking services since 1879, but did not accrue interest or issue loans. The ethics committee found no public money lost, though some abuses occurred and 24 abusers were named.

An administrative law judge ruled the Ancient Order of Hibernians could lawfully exclude an Irish gay group from marching last year and keep them from a unit entry this year citing First Amendment limits. The ruling followed threats of a boycott and a pending federal suit. Judge Leval planned to issue a preliminary injunction next week.
