No one should be satisfied with the censure of Sen. Ulysses Currie ("Disgrace in the Senate," Feb. 19). He is guilty of five ethics violations going on for many years while receiving nearly $250,000 for his efforts.

His desk was moved into the corner, and he doesn't even have to wear a dunce cap. Big deal. Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller won't even remove him from the budget committee. He deserves to be stripped of his exorbitant pension and kicked to the street.

It's just another day of good ol' boy corruption in Annapolis that doesn't even make front page news.
