Sentenced to jail, independent legislator to have son run for his vacated seat (2012/11/29)
清標派子選
無黨籍立委顏清標在擔任台中縣議長期間，與當時的副議長、現任台中縣議長張清堂用公款喝花酒，昨天被最高法院判決兩人各3年6月徒刑、褫奪公權3年定讞。
全案定讞後，顏清標喪失立法委員資格，三個月內將辦理補選投票，顏清標之子顏寬恆將「代父出征」參選。張清堂也被解職，台中縣議長一職將進行改選。顏清標委任律師表示，將聲請提起非常上訴。
Legislator Yen Chin-piao’s lengthy legal battle came to an end Wednesday. He was sentenced to 42 months in jail for spending public funds in nightclubs while serving as Taichung County Council speaker in the late 1990s.
The verdict was final, although Yen’s lawyer said he will file a last-gasp extraordinary appeal. Yen will lose his legislative seat, to be filled through a by-election in his district within three months. Yen’s eldest son Yen Kuan-heng 顏寬恆has announced his intention to run. Also convicted in the same case was incumbent Taichung Council speaker Chang Ching-tang, and the speaker’s seat will also be up for grabs.
