Lawmakers accused of 'making out' apologize, resign Ethics Committee posts

ST. PAUL -- Minnesota state Reps. Tim Kelly and Tara Mack relinquished their positions on the House Ethics Committee on Monday and issued apologies in the latest developments for the embattled lawmakers who an officer says he caught “making out” in a car in a Twin Cities park.

The Republican lawmakers originally said they were innocent after being ticketed Aug. 28 at a park in Eagan and claimed the parks officer included false information in his reports. They maintained their innocence, but each paid a $260 fine under a nuisance law, saying it would be best for their families.
