House Ethics Office turns over PMA-related files to Justice Department

The OCE, a board made up of mainly former members of Congress that makes recommendations to the ethics committee for further review, was responding to a request by Reps. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) and Paul Hodes (D-N.H.) to release the 250,000 pages it submitted to the ethics committee when it concluded its inquiry. The two lawmakers are frustrated by the ethics panel's decision to clear members of wrongdoing without providing details of its probe, including how many witnesses were interviewed and subpoenaed.

Union, lawmakers say Dover letter carriers shortchanged

In a joint statement Thursday, N.H. Democratic Reps. Paul Hodes and Carol Shea-Porter said letter carriers in Dover and Salem were cheated out of pay. They demanded the U.S. Postal Service's Office of Inspector General conduct an investigation. The allegations come after Hodes called for similar investigations last year based on claims that management at several post offices - including one in Somersworth - altered employee time sheets, resulting in lost wages. Hodes' office said more than 100 workers were affected and $37,600 in wages have been returned so far.
