LEGISLATIVE MATTERS | House Democratic resolution to expel Householder heads to committee
COLUMBUS — A resolution to expel former Republican Speaker Rep. Larry Householder, R-Glenford, from the Ohio House has been numbered and assigned to the Rules and Reference Committee.
State Reps. Michele Lepore-Hagan, D-Youngstown, and Jeffrey A. Crossman, D-Parma, urged immediate consideration of the resolution, HR 70, saying the time for waiting is over.
"Our resolution sends a forceful message that corruption has no place in the Ohio General Assembly and that alleged criminal misconduct of this magnitude will not be tolerated," Lepore-Hagan said in a news release. "Its swift consideration and passage will represent a critical first step in restoring the public's trust and confidence in their government, both of which have been battered by the HB 6 scandal.
