State Sen. Dan McKeon (R) resigns from Nebraska Legislature minutes before expulsion debate

[RandySF]

LINCOLN — Instead of possibly becoming the first sitting senator to be expelled from the Nebraska Legislature, State Sen. Dan McKeon of Amherst resigned minutes before floor debate was set to begin.

McKeon faced expulsion following allegations that he inappropriately touched a legislative staffer — allegations he denies. The Legislature’s Executive Board, which oversees the legislative branch’s internal discipline, introduced Legislative Resolution 282 for his expulsion.

That resolution was up for floor debate Tuesday. Just before the debate began at around 10 a.m., McKeon took the microphone and resigned his seat representing Legislative District 41.

“This last year has humbled me,” McKeon said tearfully.

Have been meticulously bred out of the party of red over the past couple decades.

Maybe he has relatives he is hoping to spare?

2. Keep yur hands off other people, Dan, and your years will go less painfully.

3. good riddence to bad rubbish

and it should be noted here that there were 'other' incidents that surfaced - that the senator refused to accept responsibility - even following citation by state patrol - continuing to bluster 'good old boy' behavior and workplace humor vs 'woke' sentiment - and the strong and sustained condemnation from a staunch (and overwhelmingly GOP) conservative stronghold.
