Sen. Lucido fired from committee, ordered to take training after harassment investigation
from the Detroit Free Press 3/5/2022
An internal investigation of state Sen. Peter Lucido, conducted after several women lodged sexual harassment complaints against him, has concluded that the Shelby Township Republican engaged in "inappropriate workplace behavior."
"The investigation concluded that Sen. Lucido's conduct demonstrates an unfortunate pattern of behavior that requires little to no interpretation to be understood as inappropriate workplace behavior," the investigators concluded in a report turned over to Senate leadership.
As a result of the report, Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, R-Clarklake, has removed Lucido from the Advice and Consent committee, where he served as chairman, and ordered the Macomb County lawmaker to participate in additional workplace training. The committee reviews appointments made by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, and in recent weeks has rejected two of her appointments to the Natural Resources Commission.
