\nGovernor Bevin issued a statement Saturday on alleged misconduct from members of the Kentucky House of Representatives.<\/p>\n
Three other committee chairmen are Michael Meredith of District 19, Bryan Linder from Northern Kentucky and Jim Decesare of Bowling Green have been named in the alleged misconduct. Governor Bevin had some strong words for elected officials and allegations of sexual misconduct during a Saturday (11\/4) afternoon press conference.<\/p>\n
“These alleged actions, which haven\u2019t been denied, are reprehensible, indefensible and unacceptable. Any elected official or state employee who has settled a sexual harassment claim should resign immediately,” said Governor Bevin. “The people of Kentucky deserve better. We appropriately demand a high level of integrity from our leaders, and will tolerate nothing less in our state.”<\/p>\n
The statement comes days after reports that Republican House Speaker Jeff Hoover settled a sexual harassment allegation out of court. The allegation came from one of Hoover’s staffers. <\/p>\n
Hoover released a statement on Saturday evening saying he was disappointed that the governor asked the resignation of himself and others without knowing the other side of the story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
