Vicki Englund, D-Mehlville, who was on the committee until last week, told reporters she would have voted no but Speaker Ron Richard, R-Joplin, had removed her from the committee.
Wrap: St. Louis County Democratic Representative Vicki Englund says she was kicked off the House Urban Affairs Committee last week...right before the vote.
