(Bismarck, ND) -- North Dakota District 17 Senator Ray Homberg says he is stepping down as chairman of Legislative Management, effective immediately.
"Recent events and discussions have made it clear to me that the interim governing body of the legislature, Legislative Management, does not need to be any part of that discussion," wrote Holmberg in the statement "Consequently, I will be stepping down as chairman of Legislative Management, effective immediately. This will allow Vice-chairman Chet Pollert to complete my term."
The announcement follows the discovery of 72 text messages sent between Holmberg and Grand Forks prisoner Nicholas James Morgan-Derosier, who was convicted of sexual abuse of children.
