The city of Omaha, Neb. Mike Groene denied taking inappropriate photos of a female legislative aide without her knowledge, but he said he was going to resign next week to avoid putting his family through a public humiliation. Groene, a conservative Republican who speaks bluntly and often clashes with his Democratic colleagues, said he was going to resign. Due to term limits, Groene was going to leave the Legislature next year. He withdrew from the race for the University of Nebraska Board of regents on Friday because he wanted to retire. I'm done. Groene told The Associated Press that he doesn't care about politics anymore. I have bigger fish to fry. The news outlet Nebraska Sunrise News reported that a long-time legislative aide had filed a complaint accusing Groene of taking inappropriate photos of her without her knowledge. According to the article, she discovered the photos on Groene's laptop, which he had given her to complete work-related projects. According to the article, the staffer said that Groene sent the photos of her to other people with a sexual nature. Some of the photos were close-ups of her body with explicit subject lines. Groene denied that any of the photos he took of the staffer were sexual in nature or that they focused on any specific parts of her body. He denied sharing the photos with anyone else. Legislative information technology workers searched his laptop and found nothing that would be considered sexually inappropriate, despite the fact that he took photos of staffers, visitors and family members in his office. Groene said he had a good relationship with the staffer. He said that she was offended because she wasn't aware of the photos. Groene said that his aide had worked for him for six years and that he had given her his laptop to clean up his emails. He said he apologized to her after she confronted him. She moved to another office. The staffer refused to speak to The Associated Press. The governor said he spoke with Groene on Friday afternoon and both agreed it was best for him to resign. Groene was a state senator and pushed aggressively to lower property taxes. After four years as chairman of the Education Committee, Groene was voted out by his colleagues and replaced by a Democratic state senator. He clashed with the public teachers union when he was in office, leading to a petition drive to limit local government spending. The Executive Board of the Legislature doesn't release formal complaints about senators or staffers unless the committee finds serious wrongdoing. The Nebraska Democratic Party blasted Groene in a statement on Friday, calling it another example of how Republican dominance in the state leads to corruption and harassment. The chairwoman of the Nebraska Democratic Party said thatGroene should resign and the public deserves to know all. Kleeb said Republican legislative leaders need to answer questions about whether the staffer was asked not to share information publicly. Several scandals involving Republican office-holders, including the indictment of U.S. Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, were pointed out by Kleeb. The Nebraska Democratic Party had a candidate scandal of its own. After receiving a complaint from a staffer, party leaders publicly disclosed his behavior and withdrew resources from his campaign.
