The misconduct described in the General Investigative Committee Report should never be tolerated and is proper grounds for expulsion," Rinaldi said."These actions have betrayed the trust that the people of Representative Slaton's district put in him as an elected official, and he has rightly resigned.
Slaton has not yet issued a public statement but did send a letter to Gov. Greg Abbott announcing his resignation . In it, Slaton said it was an honor to represent the district and said he looks forward to spending time with his young family but he made no reference to the misconduct allegation or the expulsion vote.
