Goodin: “Mr. Attorney General, it is time for you to go.”

INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana House Democratic Leader Terry Goodin (D-Austin) has issued the following statement on the travails of Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill:

“It had been my hope that the Attorney General could realize on his own that his salacious behavior has no place in our state government, then do us all a favor and quit.

“Now that his governor and his party leadership in the Indiana General Assembly have weighed in, let me make it unanimous: Mr. Attorney General, it is time for you to go.

“Let us praise those brave women who came forth and spoke of this vile conduct against them. They are the ones to admire for their courage.

“I had already been in discussions with our state Inspector General about the need to investigate this matter. I am glad that others have asked for the investigation as well. As it proceeds, let us make sure we support and protect the victims.

“It’s in the hands of our Attorney General to live up to his charge as our state’s chief law enforcement officer and do what’s right. Quit.”
