    Lt. Gov. Patrick: Statement on Senator Seliger's


    Recent Comments

    AUSTIN - Lt. Gov. Patrick issued the following statement this afternoon:
    "Senator Seliger has been removed as Chair of the Senate Agriculture Committee and will
    not be serving on that Committee. I met with Sen. Seliger earlier today and gave him an
    opportunity to apologize for a lewd comment he made on radio about a female staffer that
    has shocked everyone. He had 48 hours to apologize, but failed to do so. He has refused to
    take responsibility and outrageously, blamed the staffer and said she should be fired. To
    not be willing to apologize and suggest, somehow, that she had it coming is unimaginable.
    "I will appoint a new Agriculture Committee chairman shortly."
