Kansas City Star: “In a near-unanimous vote and for only the second time in its history, the Missouri House of Representatives on Wednesday expelled one of its own. Rep. Rick Roeber, the Lee’s Summit Republican who a House committee found was credibly accused of sexually and physically abusing his children, was removed from office by a vote of 153 in favor to one present. House GOP leaders signaled the extraordinary move last week when members rejected Roeber’s attempts to resign as the House Ethics committee investigation into the abuse accusations neared its end.”
