A stalled bill led to a State House confrontation between a few state officials and Henry Fellela, husband of Rep. Deborah Fellela, D-Johnston on June 26.

Fellela confronted Senators John J. Tassoni and Leo R. Blais and a Senate staffer because he was upset that his wife’s bill regarding the Johnston Housing Authority had stalled in Tassoni’s committee.

“Tassoni killed my wife’s bill,” Fellela said. “I said to him, ‘Why did you do that?’ He got real cocky, like a thug.”

A verbal argument ensued, in which Fellela later admitted to using profanity.

Tassoni said he reported the incident because, at the time, he thought Fellela was “unstable.”

The state police investigated the incident. “There was nothing that raised to level of criminal conduct,” Maj. Stephen Bannon told Political Scene. “It was basically two people that got into an argument. People get into arguments all the time down there. … No one wished to pursue any charges.” [ProJo]
