Scandal Causes Nebraska Lieutenant Governor to Resign

 Nebraska Lieutenant Governor Rich Sheehy’s involvement in a series of late night phone calls caused him to resign Saturday.

Governor Dave Heineman of Nebraska announced the resignation at a press conference and said his trust in Sheehy “was broken”.

This resignation comes after The Omaha World-Herald raised questions about Sheehy making thousands of phone calls to four women while he was married.

Governor Heineman has since revoked his support for Sheehy running for the gubernatorial race in 2014.
