Former Senator McGee Quits Post As Canyon County Republican Chair

(AP) Former Caldwell Senator John McGee has stepped down as chairman of the Canyon County Republican Central Committee. The decision to leave the committee post came days after McGee
resigned his Senate seat amid al legations he sexually harassed a female Senate aid. Canyon County Central Committee officials say they received McGee's resignation as chairman on Friday. A new chairman will be picked at the committee's next meeting on March 20. Meanwhile, the Idaho State Police is investigating allegations against the 39-year-old McGee. McGee resigned his Senate seat last Wednesday after Senate Republican leaders learned of the alleged misconduct. McGee did not
acknowledge any wrong doing. His troubles began last year when he pleaded guilty to drunken
driving in a deal that erased accompanying auto theft charges in that case.
