===Marino joins Democrats in choosing House Speaker===
On January 13, 2020, Marino was one of two Independents -- the other is [[Roy Darryl Adams]] of Jackson in East Feliciana Parish -- who collaborated with twenty-three [[Moderate Republican]] lawmakers, known as the [[Louisiana Republican Fraud Squad|Fraud Squad]], who voted for Republican [[Clay Schexnayder]] of Ascension Parish for House [[Speaker]]. Schexnayder was cobbled together by the votes of thirty-five Democratic lawmakers along with Marino and Adams, and thirty-five [[Democratic Party|Democrat]] legislators. Democratic [[Governor]] [[John Bel Edwards]] made legislative contacts on Schexnayder's behalf. Schexnayder hence won the position, sixty to forty-five, the number of the more conservative Republicans in the House who stood with the party caucus choice, [[Sherman Mack]] of Albany in Livingston Parish.<ref>''[[Moon Griffon|The Moon Griffon Show]],'' January 23, 2020.</ref>
