Unfiled taxes: A potential bad apple in the House

From Speaker of the House David Ralston today:
“Upon receipt of the report from the Department of Revenue, House Ethics Committee Chairman Joe Wilkinson delivered the report to me. Legal counsel and I have reviewed the report, in conjunction with the law, and only one House member has not filed a personal income tax return with the Department of Revenue for tax year 2008. As provided by law, Chairman Wilkinson will conduct an appropriate investigation consistent with the rules of the House Committee on Ethics and report the findings to me.”
Great. I look forward to a week of speculation about who it is, and to the sight of television cameras chasing suspects through the Capitol.

It doesn't appear that there are any senators on the list. From the Associated Press:
Senate Ethics Committee Chairman Dan Moody said there were no senators on the list.
