House Panel Recommends Expulson For Courser, Gamrat

A Michigan House of Representatives panel has voted to recommend expulsion for Rep. Todd Courser and Rep. Cindy Gamrat, for misconduct and misuse of taxpayers resources, following an extra-marital affair between the two.

A six member committee voted 4-0 to recommend expulsion, with both Democrats abstaining. The next step is the full House voting on the measure. A 2/3 majority is needed to expel the two legislators. That vote could come as early as this afternoon.

Media reports say it's not a given that expulsion will happen.
