Fukuoka assemblyman disciplined over money scandal, anonymous posts

Original: 『めど辞任 金銭疑惑 混乱の 責任議員 辞職は否定』 裏アカで不適切投稿、福岡の林泰輔県議を処分 自民が金銭疑惑巡り https://www. nikkei.com/article/DGXZQOJC29A B10Z20C26A9000000

Yasusuke Hayashi, a Liberal Democratic Party member of the Fukuoka Prefectural Assembly, has been disciplined by his party over financial irregularities and inappropriate posts made from a private account. The LDP moved to address the money scandal and ensuing confusion, while Hayashi has denied calls that he resign, refusing to step down as a lawmaker under fire.

Why now: The combination of a financial scandal and covert social media postings has made the lawmaker's refusal to resign a talking point in Japan.
