The Arizona Senate Ethics Committee will investigate a Democratic state senator for allegedly violating signature-gathering laws, but won’t do any real sleuthing until the attorney general weighs in.

The committee voted 3-2 on party lines to pursue an investigation of Sen. Catherine Miranda, D-Phoenix, based on an ethics complaint filed by a Gilbert resident. GOP Sens. Kimberly Yee, Judy Burges and Steve Montenegro cast the votes in favor of the investigation.
