Arizona House of Representatives votes to censure Rep. Stahl Hamilton [View all]
TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — Members of the Arizona House of Representatives voted 30-28 to censure Democratic Rep. Stephanie Stahl Hamilton of Tucson on Tuesday.
The move was in response to Hamilton hiding Bibles from the Arizona House members' lounge and hiding them in different locations—reportedly as "playful commentary" on the separation of church and state, according to the House Ethics Committee report.
The report details the timeline over which House members noticed misplaced Bibles from the lounge. On finding the misplaced Bibles, the report says House Sergeant at Arms Chuck Fitzgerald reviewed security footage that showed Stahl Hamilton hiding the Bibles.
