Women senators from both parties — all 22 of them — called on Senate leadership to bring about legislation to update and strengthen the procedures available to survivors of all forms of sexual harassment and discrimination in congressional workplaces.The House of Representatives passed bipartisan legislation in February aimed at preventing sexual harassment and discrimination in congressional workplaces and helping the survivors of these acts seek justice.The full text of the Senators' letter reads:Dear Leader McConnell and Senator Schumer:We write to express our deep disappointment that the Senate has failed to enact meaningful reforms to the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995. We urge you to bring before the full Senate legislation that would update and strengthen the procedures available to survivors of sexual harassment and discrimination in congressional workplaces.Everyone deserves to work in an environment free from harassment and discrimination. In November, with your leadership, the Senate took an important first step in the effort to end harassment and discrimination in congressional workplaces with the passage of S. Res. 330, which requires anti-harassment and discrimination training for all Senators and staff at least once each Congress. While this training requirement was a significant step to address workplace harassment, there was broad, bipartisan agreement at that time that more had to be done to support survivors.Although the Congressional Accountability Act (CAA) implemented meaningful reforms when it became law in 1995, it continues to require survivors to endure an antiquated dispute resolution process, including a month-long counseling session, forced mediation and a 30-day “cooling off” period before a victim can make a decision whether to pursue justice in a courtroom or continue with administrative procedures. The time has come to rewrite the CAA to provide a more equitable process that supports survivors of harassment and discrimination.The Senate’s inaction stands in stark contrast to the bipartisan effort in the House of Representatives that led to the passage of bipartisan CAA reform legislation in February. The House bill includes a number of important provisions, such as eliminating waiting periods before a victim can take their case to court, increased transparency for awards and settlements, and a requirement that Members of the Senate and House pay for an award or settlement stemming from a case of sexual harassment or discrimination that they personally commit.When the Senate considers CAA reform legislation, we will also have the ability to address an inequity that now exists between House and Senate staff. The House of Representatives passed H. Res. 724 that provides House staff who are survivors of harassment or discrimination access to free legal representation. Senate staff who face similar harassment or discrimination must pay personally for legal representation or represent themselves through complicated legal proceedings. Therefore, the Senate must act quickly to provide Senate staff with the same resources as their House colleagues.Inaction is unacceptable when a survey shows that four out of 10 women congressional staffers believe that sexual harassment is a problem on Capitol Hill and one out of six women in the same survey responded that they have been the survivors of sexual harassment. Survivors who have bravely come forward to share their stories have brought to light just how widespread harassment and discrimination continue to be throughout Capitol Hill. No longer can we allow the perpetrators of these crimes to hide behind a 23-year-old law. It’s time to rewrite the Congressional Accountability Act and update the process through which survivors seek justice.Sincerely,—The bipartisan letter, sent to Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY), was led by U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Patty Murray (D-WA), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and signed by Ranking Members Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Claire McCaskill (D-MO), as well as Members of the Rules Committee Working Group Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Deb Fischer (R-NE), Catherine Cortez-Masto (D-NV). Signers also included Joni Ernst (R-IA), Susan Collins (R-ME), Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Tina Smith (D-MN), Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), Kamala Harris (D-CA), and Maggie Hassan (D-NH). 4561

even if manufacturers say it’s safe. Sewer system experts aren't convinced "flushable wipes" break down fast enough to prevent problems. In Colorado Springs new technology aims to hold flushers accountable for any problems. "What would you see right here it's a common typical everyday scenario as you can see a lot of baby wipes," said Colorado Springs Utilities Wastewater Operator Chris Fernandez. "Flushable wipes, toys, plastics anything that somebody would throw in a toilet it's going to come here." Fernandez is a wastewater operator at a Colorado Springs facility that treats more than 30 million gallons of wastewater each day. "This is something that needs to be addressed. Over the years it has gotten worse," said Fernandez. He showed KOAA how thousands of pounds of wet wipes are pulled from the sewage drains each week and piled up in rollaway dumpsters. "That's 99% baby wipes or any kind of wipes," said Fernandez. This year alone, crews have had to haul away 100 of these dumpsters full of wipes. "As that non-organic material flows down through our sewer systems that can cause blockages it can hit homes and you can possibly even back up basements," said Fernandez. For years, wastewater companies have tried to educate the public about the problem. Now, new technology is helping to hold those who flush wipes accountable. "You know if there's a stoppage we'll get it investigated and then you know there could be a lot of ramifications for whoever is flushing these wipes down the drain if we can show a tap where it's coming from a business or residence then you know could be a lot of legal right ramifications for them," said Colorado Springs Utilities Operations Supervisor Dave Dunlap. Using robotic cameras, Colorado Springs Utilities crews get a glimpse into the sewer lines, pinpointing who is causing problems for the city's wastewater system. "If you can actually visually see something as opposed to just running a cleaning tool through it and bring it back, I mean you might find something you might not. this actually shows it to you, so I say it's a game-changer for us," said Dunlap. More than 100 miles south in Trinidad, many residents use septic tanks and according to J.J. Rivera, a septic tank pumper, the flushing of wipes is causing problems for them as well. "They go buy a home in the hills because it's peaceful, tranquil. oh, don't worry we'll just keep our habits going. Pretty soon... honey, lines are backed up. Honey, there's stuff in the basement. Oh, I didn't know. So here we go out and find the problem, 90% of it is wipes. They're like, we had no idea," said Rivera who runs Little Stinker Septic Service. Rivera's family has been in the septic service business for decades and says the decision to flush wet wipes has been life changing for some of his customers, costing them tens of thousands of dollars to fix the problems. "What made them listen was they got hit in the pocketbook," said Rivera. "That was money they were planning on vacation, we were going to go do this we are going to buy new car, oh my god it just vanished because we were doing something we were not supposed to but we are accustomed to." While the nationwide debate continues over just how flushable the flushable wipes really are, Rivera hopes someone will develop wipes that can set a new standard helping to limit the damage caused by wipes in the pipes. According to the market research group Euromonitor International, sales of personal wipes reached .2 billion in North America in 2015 and the market continues to grow. The biggest manufacturers of flushable wipes say their products don't pose a risk to sewage systems. Wastewater experts disagree and advise people to play it safe and throw wipes in the trash.This story was originally published by Patrick Nelson at KOAA. 3832
