Assemblyman Watson Duke Calls For Presiding Officer’s Resignation Following Claims Of Bullying And Dereliction Of Duty In Assembly Legislature

Assemblyman for Roxborough/Argyle Watson Duke is calling for the resignation of Presiding Officer Abby Taylor. This follows a verbal dispute in the Assembly Legislature, which led to Duke being escorted out of Thursday’s plenary sitting by two police officers. Duke claims he was unfairly removed after highlighting what he described as unparliamentary language used by Assemblyman Pastor Terrance Baynes.
