ST. PAUL, Minn.– Senate Republicans took a new tack to unseat state Senator Nicole Mitchell, a Democrat who is facing a burglary trial in Detroit Lakes. This time the Republicans want the Senate Ethics Committee expel Mitchell. The earlier GOP tactic to oust was before the full Senate, and Mitchell cast the deciding vote in her own behalf, Mitchell represents the St. Paul suburbs of Woodbury and Maplewood. In Detroit Lakes she is charged with breaking into her mother-in-law’s house to retrieve family memorabilia. There has been an ongoing family feud. In the current Legislature, the Senate is narrowly split. The GOP covets a majority.
