Ralph Arza Pleads Out

This blog has followed Ralph Arza with great interest. Arza has pleaded guilty to misdemeanors charges.

Arza's punishment is two misdemeanor convictions, $1,500 in investigative costs, anger management classes and community services. Arza steals a page from the Mel Gibson/Mark Foley playbook. We find out that Arza is an alcoholic. He will be evaluated by an alcohol abuse counselor.

Arza will be eligible to run for public office in 2010 if he successfully completes his probation. I would not be shocked if he runs again.
