NEWARK – The chorus grows louder to expel indicted State Rep. Larry Householder from the Ohio House of Representatives, with a vote possible next week.
State Rep. Mark Fraizer, R-Newark, said he expects members of the Ohio House of Representatives to cast their votes on the expulsion of Householder, R-Glenford, and he believes there are the 66 votes needed to remove the former speaker, arrested in July on racketeering charges. My hope is there will be a vote next week and allow members to expel Householder from his position, Fraizer said. Now is the time.
“We’ve been pushing. We should have the vote and should expel Householder. I’m going to vote to expel. My anticipation is it will come to the floor. I believe there will be enough (votes) to expel.”
