Raul Grijalva Dem congressman from AZ says paid out of the COC slush fund for creating a hostile work environment.
He said its no big deal and its done all the time. Its being reported he paid out $ 47,000 to settle.

Time for him to go. He can't be trusted with tax payer money. Silence is golden and its our gold.

From the link by "latimeria" below :

A large part of the problem is that each member of Congress can treat their staff as their own fiefdom and also know that it will remain silent.

Are you waiting for it to show up on a certain site or something? I searched his last name and found an article. Where did you hear or see it if not an article?

Seems like this guy was just an ass and not a pervert like some other politicians. Nevertheless, I believe we're seeing the beginnings of an avalanche of accusations and allegations against sitting Congressmen.

Yup. You have to wonder what's up with Gutierrez resigning.

Behind paywall. Cut and paste and go incognito. Or...

Timing, politics and payout lead up to Gutierrez resignation | WGN-TV

It's slow though.

Sounds like Grijalva is just a jerk and maybe a boozer but not a sex offender. Many people have bosses like that and settlements for "hostile work environment" are common. The man is my rep though I have never voted for him. He gives me the creeps and he is so fixated on latino politics he encouraged a boycott on his own state. It would be nice to see him run out of Congress.
