Cargill's Out

Former Republican House Speaker Lance Cargill of Harrah was not among those filing for reelection today, thus ending his tenure in the Legislature.

Cargill's rise to political prominence was cut short earlier this year when he resigned as speaker in the wake of reports he had failed to pay taxes in a timely fashion. He had been discussed as a possible GOP candidate for governor.

Cargill has served for eight years.
