Right And Left Agree On Williams Ouster

By Kleinheider Posted on February 10, 2009 at 7:33 am

Tom Humphrey notes that two legislators who fought against each other in hard scrabble race for GOP House Caucus Chair late last year both agree that Robin Smith could have handled “the Williams situation” differently:

Others expressing misgivings about Smith’s action included Rep. Steve McDaniel of Parker’s Crossroads, who was appointed to the post of deputy speaker by Williams and who is generally regarded as a moderate, and Rep. Frank Niceley of Strawberry Plains, a staunch conservative.

“We’re elected as a legislative body. We don’t need another body second-guessing how we vote,” said Niceley.
