The meeting came eight months after the former speaker’s arrest on federal corruption charges, and four months after his re-election to his seat.
The meeting of the caucus, which included Householder (R-Glenford), had what longtime state Rep. Bill Seitz (R-Cincinnati) called a “very civil and spirited exchange of views.” But Seitz said there was never a plan to make a decision.
