From today's Athens News. The third paragraph tells it all.
Rep. Jay Edwards (R-Nelsonville) joined the rest of the Ohio House of Representatives Thursday in unanimously voting to remove his personal friend and now-former boss Larry Householder (R-Glenford) as House speaker, but he also voted along mostly partisan lines to table opening the floor for debate on expelling the former speaker from the body.
In a statement released Thursday night, Edwards largely praised Householder’s tenure as speaker, saying that “progress was made on multiple fronts” under his leadership, before explaining why he voted to revoke his speakership.
“My family and I have grown to consider Larry to be a friend. We were confident that Householder would help give southeastern Ohio a stronger voice,” Edwards said in the statement.
“In fact, Larry was fond of sharing the story of meeting my grandfather, Joe Edwards, for the first time back in 1996, when Householder stopped by the Movies 10 during his campaign for state representative.”
