High-ranking senator from Ohio and an ALEC member, Cliff Hite, abruptly resigned his seat citing "inappropriate behavior" with a state employee. In a statement, Hite said he was, "not proud of recent inappropriate conversations" he had with a woman, who he says worked in a nearby state office.

As an ALEC member, Cliff Hite may have been paid or reimbursed for travel expenses and registration for ALEC conferences and meetings. It's imperative that the public is made aware of any and all financial compensation by ALEC to Sen. Cliff Hite.
