Some Oregon lawmakers said it would be up to voters to decide if Rep. Greg Smith should continue serving after ethics violations.

The Oregon Government Ethics Commission on Friday agreed to fine Oregon’s longest-serving state representative $12,000 for abusing his position as a leader of an eastern Oregon public development authority to raise his salary and approve weeks of paid vacation.

The Oregon Government Ethics Commission found Smith illegally approved his own time cards as an agency director and leveraged his public position for pay.
