WestVirginiaRebel Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Yahoo News: LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska Lt. Gov. Rick Sheehy resigned Saturday after "breaking the public trust," Gov. Dave Heineman said. Heineman announced Sheehy's resignation in a hastily called news conference Saturday morning. Heineman said the resignation followed disclosures made in a public records request, but declined to discuss what those disclosures were. "As public officials, we are rightly held to a higher standard," Heineman said. "I had trusted him, and that trust was broken." Sheehy resigned after questions were raised about improper cellphone calls to four women, none of which were his wife, during the past four years. The story was first reported by the Omaha World-Herald. Records released Saturday by the governor's office show Sheehy made thousands of late-night phone calls to the women on his state-issued cellphone. Sheehy made some of the calls numerous times a day, with the conversations lasting anywhere from a few minutes to more than an hour, according to the records. One woman he frequently called, Dr. Theresa Hatcher of Bellevue, told The Associated Press that she and Sheehy had maintained a long-term relationship after they met during a meeting of emergency responders Texas in 2008. Sheehy leads the state's emergency management efforts, and Hatcher is an emergency room doctor. "I thought I was the only one," she said. "Apparently, I was grossly mistaken." She added: "Politicians can lie. Doctors don't lie." Hatcher said she last talked to Sheehy about two weeks ago. ________ At least he didn't pay any of these women, unlike a certain Senator...

I'm sure it was just to discuss politics...or maybe he was inviting them to view his Pre-Colombian etchings. (some sarcasm may be present) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
