The Arizona lawmaker who gained infamy for bragging about using legislative immunity to avoid speeding tickets said he’d sponsor a bill to remove the provision from the state constitution.
According to the Kingman Daily Miner, Rep. Paul Mosley issued his mea culpa Tuesday at a candidate forum in Lake Havasu City.
“I apologize and it will never happen again,” the Republican incumbent in Legislative District 5 said. “I will personally sponsor the bill to get rid of legislative immunity because I don’t see the purpose of it.”
It was Mosley’s first public appearance since video was made public showing him boasting to a La Paz County Sheriff’s deputy who pulled him over for speeding. Mosley said he was driving 120 mph before getting pulled over for doing 97 in a 55 zone, and that he’d driven as fast as 140 in the past.
