McGee Charged w/Car Theft, DUI

Item: Idaho Senate leader McGee arrested for DUI, vehicle theft/Associated Press

More Info: Idaho Senate Republican Caucus Chairman John McGee was arrested early Sunday after police say he took a Ford Excursion and cargo trailer from the Boise home of a "complete stranger" and a blood-alcohol test showed the four-term lawmaker had been drinking. The lawyer for the 38-year-old senator, who represents Caldwell and is the head of the Canyon County GOP, says McGee is embarrassed by the situation and intends to handle his legal case responsibly.

Question: Is there anything Idaho GOP leadership can do to stem misconduct by key members?
