"Me Too" is Growing
More than 140 women working in and around the California State Capitol have written a letter claiming to have been sexually harassed inside the Capitol by lawmakers and staff. The list has grown to 300 now.
"For four years in a row, the Democratic-controlled Legislature has quietly buried a bill--sponsored by a Republican assemblywoman--that would give legislative staff expanded whistleblower protections," CalMatters reported.
