Troubled Nevada Assemblyman Steven Brooks (D) “was recommended for expulsion from the Legislature by a panel of his colleagues Tuesday, the culmination of more than three hours of closed-door debate about his fitness to serve,” the Las Vegas Review Journal reports.
The panel voted 6-1 to oust Brooks from his seat “following weeks of erratic behavior, including a domestic violence arrest and alleged threats of violence toward Assembly Speaker Marilyn Kirkpatrick (D)… The full Assembly will now decide Brooks’ fate, a decision that could come as early as Wednesday. An action to expel Brooks will require a two-thirds vote, and would be unprecedented in Nevada history.”
