JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — The Alaska House has tabled action on a proposal to remove from legislative committees a state representative who has said he joined the Oath Keepers far-right organization years ago.
A spokesperson with the House majority says the House Committee on Committees voted 5-2 to remove Republican Rep. David Eastman of Wasilla from his committee assignments.
The matter was tabled on the House floor following an objection from Eastman, who said a vote affecting his role as an alternate on a legislative ethics committee needed to be handled separately.
House Speaker Louise Stutes says she expects another committee on committees meeting, as early as Tuesday.
