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