Aril. A the state House speaker urged gov Evan Mech am to do some very serious soul searching while lawmakers consider impeaching the governor following a special counsel s report on his allegedly break ing. Special counsel William French speaking to a hushed House chamber Friday said Mecham deliberately concealed a $350,000 Campaign loan used Public funds for personal gain and obstructed an investigation into a men aide s alleged threats against a grand jury witness.
