From the transcript
I think as Representative Galvin has mentioned a couple times. And so I personally, based on my experience, don't feel that it is within the ethics purview to conduct these two types of training classes or for work professional workplace and then sexual harassment and so forth, because I agree with Kevin, that is not something that we do. That is not part of our statute. We do have a harassment section in our statute, which was mentioned in the legal opinion that was issued by the director at that time. And I'm trying to think of his name, but I know it's on the email or on the thing here.
