The Utah House took the first step towards a possible official condemnation of Natalie Cline on Friday but has not taken action toward impeaching the embattled Utah State Board of Education member.
Natalie Cline controversy: Utah House takes first step toward possible action against embattled state school board member
“This will allow the Legislature to start a process that is fair and deliberative. This allows us to consider all options within our constitutional authority,” Rep. Robert Spendlove, R-Sandy, said on the House floor, explaining the move. Rep. Robert Spendlove, R-Sandy, left, and House Speaker Mike Schultz, R-Hooper, answer questions during their weekly House media availability at the Utah Capitol on Friday, Feb. 9, 2024.
While he suggested Cline should step down, Schultz said he was conflicted about whether the Legislature should pull the trigger on impeachment. “The last thing I want to do is deal with this right now, to be quite honest with you,” Schultz said. “But we have an obligation. It’s our job, and we will make the time.”
While Adams says impeachment proceedings aren’t imminent, there’s nothing that would prevent the House from going down that road if they choose.
