Statement from President Ruggerio on Resignation of Sen. Kettle
|
STATE HOUSE, Providence – Below is a statement from President of the Senate Dominick J. Ruggerio on the resignation of Senator Nicholas D. Kettle today:
“I believe that the decision Mr. Kettle made today is in the best interests of the Senate and the state. I certainly respect his right to due process, and the proceedings contemplated in the Senate were not being taken lightly. At the same time, the Senate has an obligation to ensure a safe working environment for all who are employed here. The extremely serious allegations against Mr. Kettle, including sexual exploitation of a minor in the Senate page program, are unlike any I have witnessed during my time in the Senate. I am grateful that Mr. Kettle has chosen a path that avoids requiring his colleagues to consider expulsion.”
