House votes to bar member despite committee censure
The House Education and Labor Committee recommended seating the member but censured him and required a $40,000 payment. The full House rejected the recommendation and barred him by a 307 to 116 vote. If he wins in the Supreme Court, he could recover back pay and possibly regain seniority and his former committee chairmanship.
