<<2009-01-20 Statement from House Speaker Kent Williams.doc>> <> Tennessee General Assembly House of Representatives Speaker Kent Williams - House District 4 ________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________ 19 Legislative Plaza * Nashville TN 37243 * 615.741.7450 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Sexual Harassment Policy of the Tennessee General Assembly requires that any and all information falling under the parameters of the policy must be held confidential. The policy strictly prohibits the release of any information as upheld by the courts. All matters pertaining to issues involving the Sexual Harassment Policy should be referred to Connie Ridley, Director of Legislative Administration. However, I have never sexually harassed anyone nor have I been reprimanded for any such behavior. Right now my focus continues to be on moving this state forward and getting to the business of governing. This week, I have brought House Democrats and Republicans together to coordinate bipartisan committee assignments and with these talks our forward momentum is building. I am looking forward to getting on with the people's business. ### CONTACT: Scotty Campbell, Legislative Assistant/Media Relations, at 615-741-7450 or online at scotty.campbell@capitol.tn.gov.
