Censure vote set for this afternoon for Maryland lawmaker who made 'n***** district' comment
Two officials with direct knowledge of the plans to vote on the censure of Del. Mary Ann Lisanti spoke on condition of anonymity, because they weren't authorized to speak publicly before the vote in the House of Delegates. The House is scheduled to reconvene at 5:45 p.m. A vote to censure a legislator is an expression of severe disapproval.
The Harford County Democrat, who is in her second term, Lisanti apologized to the Legislative Black Caucus and the Democratic House Caucus, as well as publicly in a written statement this week, after The Washington Post reported she used the slur in reference to Prince George's County, which is majority black.
