Rauner: Dems harassment reforms are flawed

By Bill Cameron, WLS-AM News

(CHICAGO) Governor Bruce Rauner is calling the sexual harassment reforms Democrats have com up with are “flawed.”

Rauner says the new sexual harassment cop is too restricted in what she’s allowed to do, “They have to get approval for what they investigate. There’s a lot of control with the legislature about what they investigate. This is wrong. There should be complete independence, complete confidentiality, complete ability to unilaterally to do whatever he or she decides needs to be investigated.”:

However, Rauner is unwilling to talk about the possibility that one of his top aides resigned under a sexual harassment cloud, noting “Any specific questions you may have about any pending really needs to go to the inspector general. I am not authorized to comment about it.”

So the governor is flexible about what he has to say about sexual harassment in state government.
