Moments after he was removed from the Ohio House of Representatives, indicted former Speaker Larry Householder held his head high, stepped in front of television cameras and told fellow Ohioans not to count him out. I ve never solicited a bribe, Householder said outside the House chamber. I ve never been bribed, and I ve never sold legislation.
