For Star subscribers: Rep. Stephanie Stahl Hamilton could face more punishment in the House, and feelings remain raw over her apology and GOP procedural shenanigans.
The strange saga of Rep. Stephanie Stahl Hamilton seemed to be over this week, when her House colleagues voted against expelling her and in favor of censuring her.
It was also confusing because Stahl Hamilton is an ordained Presbyterian minister, though she’s someone who has argued for greater separation of church and state in the Legislature. That, she said, was the reason for the prank, for which she apologized. Normally, a 30-28 margin, like the one in favor of censure, would not have succeeded, because a measure must get a 31 votes to pass. But rather than being introduced as a “resolution,” which requires 31 votes to pass, the censure was introduced as a motion, which only required a majority of those present to pass.
“It was a prank. It was in poor taste,” he said, noting the party hasn’t taken a formal stand on the issue. “She’s a capable and intelligent person who made a minor gaffe.” Instead, under this effort, only voters in each ward would be allowed to cast ballots deciding who represents them on the council.
