A State Senator who is accused of sexual harassment will undergo training and has been stripped of his committee chairmanship. Peter Lucido of Shelby Township has been removed from his leadership position of the Senate’s Advice and Consent Committee. The removal follows a state Senate review which concluded allegations of sexual harassment lodged by several women, including a reporter and a fellow legislator. The review found the allegations against Lucido were credible and that he failed to understand “inappropriate workplace behavior.” Lucido has not been removed from all committee assignments. He will continue on as chair of the Senate Judiciary and Public Safety Committee.
