PHOENIX — Top House Democrats want an investigation into allegations that a male lawmaker made disparaging comments about a female colleague.
House Minority Leader Reginald Bolding said Friday the claims by Rep. Alma Hernandez, D-Tucson, about Rep. Brian Fernandez, D-Yuma, are being referred to House attorneys.
"The House of Representatives has a clear policy on workplace harassment that gives zero tolerance to this type of behavior,'' Bolding said. "Pursuant to this policy, these allegations will be taken seriously (and) properly investigated.''
