House floor leader quits gaming committee

HOUSE Floor Leader Ralph N. Yumul last week withdrew his membership from the House Gaming Committee.

“As you know the committee is doing extensive work and is now looking at Imperial Pacific International and the Commonwealth Casino Commission,” he said. “So rather than always recusing myself from possible meetings or actions on legislation it will be best to have another member join the gaming committee.”
