Minnesota Republican Amy Koch Resigns Post Over Allegation of ‘Inappropriate’ Relationship

It’s a pretty slow Sunday for news. I’m getting tired of Romney and Newt news. Christmas holiday is a slow period for political news anyway. But, here’s a bit or scandal coming out Michele Bachman’s home state.

The Other Mccain reports Minnesota Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch resigned from her leadership post the day after fellow Republicans confronted her about allegations that she had an “inappropriate relationship” with a staff member.

“We’re here today with a lot of humility and some sadness and even shock,” interim Senate Majority Leader Geoff Michel said Friday at a hastily called Capitol news conference. . . .

Koch could not be reached for comment Friday. Michel and the others refused to identify the staffer by name.

Michel and other senators said they had heard from several staffers over the past two weeks that Koch was having a relationship with one of her direct subordinates. They said that when they confronted Koch on Wednesday night, she didn’t admit to the relationship or deny it.

These are allegations at this point, But, she’s sure acting like it’s true.
