Arbulu: Sexist comments like calling daughter 'hot' were 'regrettable'
Documents released by the Michigan Department of Civil Rights (MDCR) Friday detail sexist comments that MDCR Director Agustin Arbulu made to a coworker, as well as remarks to state investigator that his adult daughter looked hot at a recent event they both attended.
