Hite Makes Statement

Former State Sen. Cliff Hite, who resigned abruptly on Monday, apologizes in a Twitter post for what he calls “inappropriate conversations and physical contact with a state worker.” Hite, 63, from Findlay, cited personal and family health issues for his resignation in a one-paragraph statement. Hite said the state worker did not work for him but worked in a nearby office…adding he asked her for hugs and talked with her in a way that was not appropriate for a married man.
