Three staff members of State Rep. Jolanda Jones have resigned. They alleged the Houston Democrat gave staff tasks unrelated to state business, required them to regularly perform work outside of business hours and regularly threatened to fire employees.
“We, as a collective of senior staff, have repeatedly attempted to curb your behavior and address the type of work environment you have bred over the last month,” the letter states. “But, to no avail; we haven’t seen any success.”
Jones said in a statement Thursday that working in the Legislature stressful and demanding, describing a"daily fight" on behalf of constituents.
