The Speaker of the Michigan House filed a resolution today (Tuesday) asking for Representative Larry Inman to resign.
Inman is a republican from Williamsburg, near Traverse City.
The resolution was introduced by Republican Lee Chatfield and Democrat Christine Greig.
Greig says expelling Inman from the house is still on the table.
“The goal is to restore faith in our institution, and so we feel, not only for representing the district but also the institution itself that we urge Representative Inman to resign.”
Both publicly asked Inman to resign last month,after he was charged with extortion, taking a bribe and lying to the F-B-I.
In the bill, they say Inman has quote “drawn ridicule and disgrace to the state”, and warn of further discipline in the legislature., if he doesn’t step down.
