He’s now banned from closed-door caucus meetings.
Penn Capital Star reported on Wednesday (September 22) that
Sen. Doug Mastriano, R-Franklin, will no longer have access to the closed-door caucus meetings, Jason Thompson, a spokesperson for Senate President Pro Tempore Jake Corman, R-Centre, confirmed on Wednesday.
In these meetings, lawmakers discuss their positions on bills and legislative strategy in candid, private conversations.
Thompson told the Capital-Star in a text message that Mastriano will still have virtual access to caucus materials, such as bill write-ups, amendments, and committee schedules. Mastriano, who did not respond to a request for comment, was informed earlier this week, Thompson added. He did not immediately provide a reason for the removal.
