Speaker Scott K. Saiki issued the following statement today:
“What Ty Cullen did was wrong, and the House of Representatives does not condone his actions.
This incident was a wake-up call and we have learned from it.
The House has increased its ethics trainings for members and staff, and advanced over two dozen pieces of legislation to improve our ethics laws and how we operate in the Legislature.
We are taking this action because we do not want this kind of incident to happen again.”
