Ethics panel rejects excuses

The Arkansas Senate Ethics Committee didn't find state Sen. Mark Johnson, R-Ferndale, persuasive in his reasoning for his decision to sign the reimbursement sign-in sheet for fellow Sen. Alan Clark, R-Lonsdale, for a June 3 Boys State committee meeting that Clark didn't attend, the committee said in a report released late Monday afternoon.
