On February 22, 2012, John McGee resigned his job as Idaho Senator, from Caldwell.  He is facing an investigation for sexual harassment.

This is not the first time Republican McGee has made news in Idaho.  Recently the Associated Press revealed McGee was sleeping in his parents Boise home, while collecting tax payer funded per diem for staying in a hotel.

In 2011 McGee was arrested and charged with grand theft auto and intoxicated driving.

Regarding the current sex scandal investigation; it was the Idaho Senate President Pro Tem (who is also a Republican) that OKed the investigation, after a strong recommendation by the State Attorney General.
