Things were really wild in Congress during the Obama years. There more sexual harassment settlements, paid for with your tax dollars have been totaled. Yes, the trolls in Congress are keeping the names of those who made these settlements secrets. I don’t care if it’s Republicans or Democrat. The American public has the right to know who squandered their tax payer dollars paying off sexual harassment claims. This secrecy crap is getting beyond old at this point.

The House Office of Compliance on Tuesday disclosed three additional sexual harassment settlements totaling $115,000 as advocates and lawmakers call for changes into how Congress handles accusations of sexual misconduct.
The settlements are from the fiscal years 2008 through 2012. The information does not include to whom the settlements were paid or from which offices the complaints originated.
“As I have stated from the beginning of this review, one case of sexual harassment is one case too many,” Rep. Gregg Harper (R-Miss.), who chairs the House Administration Committee, said in a statement. “We must create a culture within our Capitol Hill community that instills in every employee and employer, new and old, that there is no place for sexual harassment in the halls of Congress.”
“As part of my Committee’s review, I asked the Office of Compliance for a breakdown of the $17 million total amount that has been reported by their office for all cases involving claims of violations of the Congressional Accountability Act.”
