\nThe State Legislature did not start out the 2018 session discussing pension reform or passing regulations, members began with mandatory sexual harassment training.<\/p>\n
\nThe State Legislature did not start out the 2018 session discussing pension reform or passing regulations, members began with mandatory sexual harassment training.<\/p>\n
The biggest news of the week came when GOP House majority leader Jeff Hoover changed his mind about stepping down. Hoover initially said he would vacate the leadership post after a sexual harassment settlement with a staffer became public.<\/p>\n
So far there have been no committee meetings or votes taken. There has also been no work on pension reform and other priorities.<\/p>\n
As Hoover waits for the Legislative Ethics Commission to finish its\u2019 probe, the uncertainty over House leadership lingers, as time pass by. The state Constitution allows lawmakers to be in session no more than 60 days.
