Ohio’s House Republicans met Tuesday afternoon to discuss what to do about Rep. Larry Householder (R-Glenford), eight months after the former speaker’s arrest on federal corruption charges, and four months after his re-election to his seat, and two months into a term with no committee assignments.

The meeting of the caucus, which included Householder, had what longtime lawmaker Rep. Bill Seitz (R-Cincinnati) called a “very civil and spirited exchange of views”. But Seitz said there was never a plan to make a decision.
Rep. Bob Cupp (R-Lima) replaced Householder as speaker. Cupp said several times Householder, who was running against just write-ins in November, could only be expelled from the House once for a particular reason.
