Medical tests kept Rep. Joe Kiser from Thursday's special session.
Kiser, a Lincoln County Republican and former minority leader, said he had scheduled a CAT scan long before the session was announced, David Ingram of The Charlotte Observer reports.
"I didn't feel like I could cancel or postpone what they wanted to do here," he said by telephone. He said the tests went well and that he is feeling fine.
He also said he would have voted for expelling Thomas Wright and against only a censure.
