Ethics Complaint Filed Against Lying MN State Senator Dean Johnson
Sens. Claire Robling of Jordan and Mike McGinn of Eagan took the lead on the complaint against Johnson of Willmar.
"We're in an atmosphere where people don't hold a lot of trust in politicians," McGinn told reporters. "To have a member of our Senate be engaged in deceptive behavior like this does not bring honor and integrity to our institution."
McGinn also suggested Johnson temporarily step down as majority leader while the Senate ethics panel considers the complaint.
Specifically, the complaint alleges that Johnson violated a Senate rule prohibiting conduct that "betrays the public trust, or that tends to bring the Senate into dishonor or disrepute."
Before examining the complaint, Johnson said he figured it was "just further political shenanigans by the Republican Party."
