Nebraska's Lt. Governor Resigns

Nebraska's Lieutenant Governor Rick Sheehy resigned on Saturday.

Governor Dave Heinemann had asked for his resignation, saying Sheehy had broken "the public trust".

An investigation had turned up information that Sheehy had used public resources to help him cheat on his wife, with multiple women, over the last four years.

His wife divorced him in July of 2012, with her stating that their marriage was "irretrievably broken".

Sheehy had been working on his own gubernatorial campaign, but that is likely over now, with scandal ending his current role.
