ST.PAUL, Minn. — Three days being arrested soliciting sex with a minor, State Senator Justin Eichorn has resigned. In a brief letter to Governor Tim Walz, the Grand Rapids Republican explained that “personal matters” needed his attention. The letter, only three sentences, was typed a plain sheet without a letterhead. Whether the letter was written in jail wasn’t clear. It was believed that Senate colleagues had coached Eickhorn on the mechanics of resignation and delivered the letter to letter to the governor.
