State Senator Brenda Council received two counts of abuse of public record in Lancaster County for filing false campaign finance reports to conceal her withdrawal of more than $60,000 from campaign funds to gamble. Council apologized, saying she has a gambling addiction. She spent $27,000 gambling, but returned nearly $36,000 of the money to the funds. Council will pay back the $27,000 as well as a $500 fine. She plans to remain in this year's Legislature race against Ernie Chambers.
