Special House Committee Will Investigate Hawaii Lawmaker’s DUI Arrest…Speaker Scott Saiki says the House must act after a formal complaint was filed over Rep. Sharon Har’s arrest.
Two complaints over state Rep. Sharon Har’s drunken driving arrest last month were referred Wednesday to a House “special committee” for review, an unusual step prompted in part by a letter from a Democratic Party activist who ran unsuccessfully against Har in 2014.
House Speaker Scott Saiki referred the complaints by Michael Golojuch Jr. and his mother Carolyn Martinez Golojuch to the soon-to-be-created House committee, which Saiki said can recommend to the full House whether any sanctions should be imposed on Har.
