Description
Indiana Senate Minority Leader Greg Taylor (D-District 33) skipped an appearance at an event for the Indiana Chamber of Commerce on the same day the IndyStar reported multiple sexual harassment claims against him.
On Monday, Nov. 18, Taylor was scheduled to speak at an event where the chamber outlined its desires for this year's legislative session.
Indiana Speaker of the House Todd Huston acknowledged the claims against Taylor when speaking to reporters after the chamber event. Huston said he had not read the article but was familiar with the headline.
"I am 100% concerned about any allegations of (sexual harassment)," Huston said. "We have so many incredible young women working at the Indiana General Assembly, which I'm so grateful and thankful for. I certainly want it to be a great place for them to work."
Huston was asked if the Statehouse was a safe place for young women to work.
"I sure hope so," Huston said. "And we work every day to make sure it is."
