First Oregon, now Ohio:
"COLUMBUS, Ohio (CN) — After months of refusing to resign and a successful re-election campaign, Larry Householder was expelled from the Ohio House of Representatives Wednesday.
Householder’s fellow legislators voted to oust the former leader, using a provision in the Ohio Constitution to remove him from the chamber for the remainder of the term.
Last summer, the Ohio Republican was indicted on federal racketeering charges after his arrest in connection with a $60 million dollar bribery scheme. Shortly after his indictment, the Ohio House voted to remove him from his post as House Speaker.
Householder was indicted by a grand jury along with four other individuals and Generation Now, a nonprofit organization. Prosecutors say millions of dollars were funneled through Generation Now and used as bribes to ensure the passage of Ohio House Bill 6, a $1 billion taxpayer bailout of two nuclear power plants in Northern Ohio.
