Your Tax Dollars at Work
Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Texas) used taxpayer funds to reach a $84,000 settlement with his former communications director in 2015 after she accused him of sexual harassment, according to Politico.
Lauren Green sued her boss in December 2014, alleging that he fostered a hostile work environment involving sexual harassment and gender discrimination.
That suit was settled, but the sum involved was not disclosed until Friday.
Rep. Gregg Harper (R-Miss.) had revealed to congressional Republicans in a closed-door hearing earlier this week that just one House office in the last five years had used an obscure, taxpayer-funded Office of Compliance account to reach a settlement in a sexual harassment complaint, costing $84,000, according to Politico.

Re: Your Tax Dollars at Work
You get caught sexually harassing your employees and the taxpayer gets the bill?
Nice work if you can get it.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: Your Tax Dollars at Work
This year has been a disaster so far for the GOP and it should have been a year of accomplishments.
