News » Panel delays action on ousting state lawmaker
Mar. 3, 2010
A group of state lawmakers aren't making a decision yet on the future of a member of the assembly.
Rep. Jeff Wood is facing three separate charges for driving under the influence, after he was arrested three times last year. Rep. Steve Nass of Whitewater wants to expel the Chippewa Falls Independent from the assembly.
A special panel is considering the matter, and Wood told members this morning that he should be allowed to serve out his term.
Nass wasn't at today's hearing. Rep. Mary Hubler is the committee chair, and she says she won't allow members to vote until Nass shows up to take questions. She says Wood should be able to face his accuser.
The panel could reprimand or expel Wood from office. |
