 Minnesota's new Republican Lieutenant Governor is being sued for trying to keep her seat in the state Senate. Senate President Michelle Fishbach automatically became Governor Mark Dayton second in command this month when Tina Smith resigned the job for a seat in the U.S. Senate. But Democrats vowed to sue Fishbach to force her out of the Senate. A constituent from her central Minnesota district filed a lawsuit against her on Friday. It argues it's unconstitutional to hold both offices. Plenty of Destiny Disaki was chair of the district's local Democratic Party in 2017. Now, Senate Republicans say they can't comment until they've seen the lawsuit. A special election for Fishbach's district could give Democrats a shot at taking control of the Senate. Fishbach says she'll run again if she's forced to resign. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.
