Hurlburt resigned from the legislature on February 9, 2010, following revelations that he had spent his constituency allowance on a generator and a 40" television, which together cost over $11,000.
The former Tory cabinet minister is the second former member of the legislature to plead guilty in the scandal. Former Liberal Dave Wilson was sentenced in April to nine months in jail for defrauding the public purse of 61-thousand dollars.
