Speaker of the House Tim Seery was under grounds of impeachment this morning. According to the Standards & Official Committee, he knowingly allowed two senators to vote on a House bill, causing the bill to fail and not continue on to the Senate. He also reportedly did not read notes from elected officials out loud, a required procedure. An impromptu committee meeting was held to pass a bill through to the House regarding his position. Amendments were taken on the bill which will be promptly ordered to the top of the docket during today’s House session. Impeachment Bill #312 is not expected to advance on any further though, as most of the smoke surrounding the issue has cleared and the tensions among members who wanted to impeach him have eased. Though some people believe that he is not performing his job to the best of his abilities and should be removed, others think that the grounds for impeachment are not severe enough and that Tim is doing a good job in the House.
