News » Proposal would change Assembly expulsion rules
Mar. 18, 2010 An attempt to unseat a state lawmaker could lead to a rule change in the Assembly.
The move to expel Rep. Jeff Wood after he racked up three OWI arrests within several months, was brought by forward by just one lawmaker.
Rep. Mary Hubler says that needs to change. The Rice Lake Democrat wants to require at least 15 Assembly members to support an expulsion, before it can be considered.
Hubler says the current system could force lawmakers to defend themselves against unjustified attempts to remove them from office. |
