Speaker Mesnard Releases Sexual Harassment Report and Announces Remedial Action

NEWS RELEASE Arizona House of Representatives Speaker of the House J.D. Mesnard (R-17) 1700 West Washington Phoenix, Arizona 85007-2844 Tuesday, January 30, 2018 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Speaker Mesnard Releases Sexual Harassment Report and Announces Remedial Action STATE CAPITOL, PHOENIX – House Speaker J.D. Mesnard (R-17) today released the investigative report on sexual harassment allegations against Representatives Don Shooter (R- 13) and Michelle Ugenti-Rita (R-23). Speaker Mesnard also announced several actions in response to the report and scheduled a press conference for 4:00 p.m. to discuss those actions. The report concluded that there is credible evidence that Representative Shooter violated the House of Representative’s policy against sexual harassment. The report did not find credible evidence that Representative Ugenti-Rita violated House policy. Speaker Mesnard reacted to the report by outlining several remedial actions: • Speaker Mesnard is permanently removing Representative Shooter from all committee assignments effective immediately. • Speaker Mesnard will furthermore introduce a resolution on the House Floor censuring Representative Shooter for his behavior. • Speaker Mesnard will propose augmenting the House rules, which carry the force of law, to require a formal anti-harassment policy by which all Members must abide. • Speaker Mesnard will also propose adding a House rule requiring a formal behavioral code of conduct for all Members. • Speaker Mesnard will establish a bipartisan panel of Members to fully and transparently develop the behavioral code of conduct for House members. • Speaker Mesnard, in his capacity as Speaker, will develop a code of conduct that will apply to all House staff. • Speaker Mesnard will formalize a Human Resources Department for the House. • Speaker Mesnard will prohibit the consumption of alcohol on House premises. Speaker Mesnard will hold a press conference this afternoon at 4:00 p.m. in House Hearing Room 1 to discuss the remedial actions he has taken. ### CONTACT: Matthew Specht 602-926-5518 [email protected] .

2015 Legislative Report and Scorecard
2015 LEGISLATIVE REPORT AND SCORECARD Desert Nesting Bald Eagle photo by Robin Silver ARIZONA 2015 LEGISLATIVE REPORT By Karen Michael This year Humane Voters of Arizona (HVA) joined with other animal protection groups to form the Humane Legislative Coalition of Arizona (HCLA), an alliance of local animal advocacy organizations. Member groups include HVA, Animal Defense League of Arizona, Arizona Humane Society, and Humane Society of Southern Arizona. The coalition hired Brian Tassinari, the outstanding political consultant who helped to kill last session’s bad farm animal bill. This represents the Arizona animal community’s largest effort to date to protect our state’s animals and citizen initiative rights. Polls indicate that Arizona voters strongly support endangered Mexican wolf reintroduction and farm animal protection. This was demonstrated by the outpouring of support requesting a veto of the farm animal bill. Animal protection is a nonpartisan issue. A perfect example is that two of the most vocal supporters, Senators Farley and Kavanagh, are at polar ends of the political spectrum, yet they consistently agree when it comes to fighting for animals. The Good Bills The Cat Impound Exemption Bill (SB 1260) This beneficial measure exempts impounded cats from minimum holding periods at animal control facilities if the cat is eligible for a trap, neuter, return (TNR) program. Eligible cats are sterilized and ear-tipped and returned to their outdoor homes. Best Friends Animal Society drafted the original bill, SB 1198, which was sponsored by Senator Kavanagh. The bill failed on the House floor after an amendment was added to prohibit pound fees to be charged to anyone reclaiming an impounded cat.

Municipal 2012
2012 Municipal policy Statement Core Principles • PROTECTION OF SHARED REVENUES. Arizona’s municipalities rely on the existing state-collected shared revenue system to provide quality services to their residents. The League will resist any attacks on this critical source of funding for localities, which are responsibly managing lean budgets during difﬁcult economic times. The League opposes unfunded legislative mandates, as well as the imposition of fees and assessments on municipalities as a means of shifting the costs of State operations onto cities and towns. In particular, the League opposes any further diversions of Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF) monies away from municipalities and calls upon the Legislature to restore diverted HURF funding to critical road and street projects. • PRESERVATION OF LOCAL CONTROL. The League calls upon the Arizona Legislature to respect the authority of cities and towns to govern their communities free from legislative interference and the imposi- tion of regulatory burdens. The League shares the sentiments of Governor Brewer, who, in vetoing anti-city legislation last session, wrote: “I am becoming increasingly concerned that many bills introduced this session micromanage decisions best made at the local level. What happened to the conservative belief that the most effective, responsible and responsive government is government closest to the people?” Fiscal Stewardship The League is prepared to support reasonable reforms to the state revenue system that adhere to the principles of simplicity, fairness and balance and that do not infringe upon the ability of cities and towns to implement tax systems that reﬂect local priorities and economies. • The League proposes to work with the Legislature to ensure that both the State and municipalities are equipped with the economic development tools they need to help them remain competitive nationally and internationally.

Central Avenue Phoenix, AZ 85004-2926 Re: Notice of claim by Donald Shooter pursuant to A.R.S. §12-821.01 Dear Sirs: This Firm has been engaged on behalf of Donald M. Shooter, once a duly-elected Member of the Arizona House of Representatives serving the people of Arizona, and in particular the citizens of Legislative District 13. The citizens of Legislative District 13 most recently sent Representative Shooter to the Arizona House beginning in the 2017 legislative session. Prior to election to the House, Representative Shooter enjoyed a distinguished career in the Arizona Senate, where he served from 2011-2016. The purpose of this letter is to serve a notice of claim on you and on the state of Arizona pursuant to A.R.S. §12-821.01. FACTUAL PREDICATE TO CLAIMS Removal of Mr. Shooter In Violation Of His Rights Mr. Shooter was removed from the Arizona House on or about February 1, 2018, by a vote of the House. At the time of that vote, orchestrated by Speaker Mesnard and in coordination with members of Governor Ducey’s staff, the House failed to abide by its own rules, failed to acknowledge well- established protocol, and applied an illegitimate standard retroactively to Representative Shooter.
