Fla. Lawmaker Charged in Slur Scandal (Republican Ralph Arza)
...

Arza acknowledged leaving the message on fellow Republican Rep. Gus Barreiro's voice mail last month but said he was drunk.

He said he had learned that Barreiro had filed a complaint accusing him of using a racial epithet to refer to Miami-Dade County School Superintendent Rudy Crew, who is black. He used the same epithet in his phone message to Barreiro, who is Hispanic, but has vehemently denied ever using a racial slur to refer to Crew.

...

Prosecutors charged Arza with retaliating against and tampering with a witness, both felonies, for allegedly trying to thwart the investigation of the complaint.

Geeeeez, the Repuke bigots seem to be breaking down the walls to reveal themselves. What is also interesting is that Arza went after another Repuke. Puts a smile on my face not only to see him get busted, but to see the Repukes trying to take hunks out of the hide of each other.
