The chair of a committee considering whether to expel a Wisconsin lawmaker arrested three times for driving under the influence says there's not enough support for the plan.
Rep. Mary Hubler, a Democrat of Rice Lake, told reporters on Tuesday that supporters of the plan to expel Rep. Jeff Wood failed to make a solid case.
She says Wood is contesting driving under the influence charges in two of the cases, and it would be a "huge embarrassment" if the charges were dismissed after he was expelled.
Hubler said she may be open to other resolutions to reprimand or censure Wood. She spoke after the committee heard testimony from Rep. Steve Nass, who said Wood should be expelled for his repeated dangerous driving and bad judgment.

Not bad. He gets busted for several D.U.I.'s and gets a spanking. A person with a C.D.L. gets it once and looses their license to drive, and perhaps like all other "John Q's" goes to jail. NOW THERES A JOB TO HAVE! Is that the reason some want to be in state government???

Don't worry. There will be enough votes to expel him in November, if you know what I mean.
