Rep. Andy Harris came under fire Tuesday for an incident last summer in which an underage intern was allowed to drink alcohol at a farewell party on a veranda of the U.S. Capitol.
A spokesman for Harris, Ryan Nawrocki, confirmed that the party took place but said aides in the office did not realize the intern, a senior in college, was under 21. When the incident was brought to light, Harris, a Republican, disciplined his chief of staff, Kevin Reigrut, though Nawrocki would not say what action was taken.
“When [Harris] found out about the incident … he made it very clear that no alcohol was to be consumed in any of his offices, period,” Nawrocki said. “There was immediate and appropriate disciplinary action taken.”
Reigrut could not be reached for comment. ... http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/politics/blog/bal-harris-faces-report-of-underage-drinking-by-intern-20120103,0,5451809.story
