Why didn't the other three 'pubs walk out and refuse to participate in any votes/meetings with the ex-member still in the chamber?

You raise a good point. I wonder if they need 4 or 5 members for a quorum. If 4, the 3 GOPers plus the new person could hold meetings without Berry. If 5 are needed, there is no quorum IF the 3 GOPer's walk out, since there are only 4 "legitimate" members left.

From the list provided in post 51, looks like there is only one Republican, the rest are dem or independent.

Why, then she would have just seized control of the entire government without a dissenting vote.
