'Comstock praised the measure but said it should go further and expose members who have paid sexual harassment settlements in the past. '
'It will also conduct a survey every two years to gauge the attitude of sexual harassment among employees. '
'Barbara Comstock, R-Va., comes in the wake of sexual harassment allegations spreading across the country — including members of Congress being named in sexual misconduct cases. '
'WASHINGTON – The House passed a bill Tuesday that would require members of Congress to pay out of their own pockets for any sexual harassment settlements, and would help victims better navigate the complaint process on Capitol Hill.“There is no place for sexual harassment or any type of harassment, period," Rep. '
'Several members have recently resigned or announced plans to retire after charges of sexual harassment. '

They really need taxpayer $ so they can film them and upload to the interests.
