Former Courser/Gamrat staffer Josh Cline spoke out at a press conference Monday in Royal Oak. You can listen to the full press conference via MIRS here.

One interesting aspect of his statement is that he "felt there was no relief was coming" when he informed Speaker Cotter's office of the working conditions in the office.

According to the Detroit Free Press:

"During a news conference Monday, Cline, who resigned in the spring, said it became obvious soon after the lawmakers took office that they had a such a personal, intimate relationship that it created a hostile work environment and made working in the office "untenable"...

Cline quit the office in April and said the last straw was when he realized that they had cancelled or rescheduled more than half the meetings they set up. He said he brought his concerns about the relationship to members of the office of Speaker of the House Kevin Cotter, R-Mt. Pleasant. But said he "felt there was no relief forthcoming."
