says someone lodged a verbal complaint against Goodman. The caucus wouldn鈥檛 say what Goodman did, only that it involved inappropriate conduct with someone who is not employed by the legislature and that it happened in Goodman鈥檚 state office.
The caucus adds that it was not a case of harassment of any kind.
In a statement, Goodman says he 鈥渟incerely regrets鈥� that his actions and choices kept him from serving his constituents and state.
Republican says he asked Goodman to resign once he learned about the conduct.
Senate Democratic Caucus Chief of Staff Mike Premo earlier this week, also under the guise of 鈥渋nappropriate conduct.鈥� But it鈥檚 unclear what actions led to that.
