Jody Richards has done it again. Our incompetent Speaker of the House had the nerve to say he doesn’t play games with committees, especially not in the middle of a session. And then three days later he ousted Rep. Dottie Sims from his beloved gambling committee– playing the games he says he doesn’t play.

This is just par for the course for Jody and it’s high time for him to leave the State House. He is no longer (has he ever been?) a representative of the people. He’s turned into an old political hack with about as much influence and ability to lead and/or speak as the cheap hair dye he so often puts to use.

We support what BGR says:

This is the kind of shitty leadership that we’ve come to expect from the KDP. And personally, I’ve had enough of this.

It may be time for Greg Stumbo to finally step up and take the leadership position from Jody. If he is going to be a shill for casinos and business interests while blatantly deceiving citizens lobbying against the destruction of our mountains/streams and voter disfranchisement, it’s time for him to go. Stumbo may not be perfect, but the guy has a spine and he’s a fighter.
