A long-awaited impeachment hearing in Louisiana may finally be held at 1:30 p.m. November 20th.
The Louisiana City Council set the tentative date. The hearing will be at City Hall and is open to the public. Two previous attempts at holding the hearing were postponed.
The council voted six to two September 26th to impeach Robbyn Morris. She’s accused of violating Missouri’s open meetings act by secretly recording a closed council session on September 10th.
Morris is fighting the allegations. A judge will oversee the hearing, but the council will have the final vote on whether to let the charges stand.
Morris is in the second year of a two-year council term. She has been at odds recently with Mayor Tom Wallace and City Administrator Bob Jenne.
If she’s removed, Wallace could appoint a replacement or wait until voters choose a candidate in next April’s election.
