That is it,&#8221; said State House Speaker Toma. &#8220;On a personal note, the only thing we have down here is our word and our integrity, and when that is clearly crossed, when you can no longer count on someone&#8217;s word and integrity, they can no longer be an effective legislator.&#8221;\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n        A GOP lawmaker objected to Harris&#8217; expulsion, stating that &#8220;It sets a bad precedent because it says we&#8217;re going to expel members for playing shell games and hiding the ball. Well, start expelling members for that, there would only be a few occupied seats down here,&#8221; said State Rep. Alexander Kolodin.
