Board wants Kintner to resign by Friday due to his cybersex scandal using a state computer

LINCOLN — State Sen. Bill Kintner, who’s ensnared in a cybersex scandal, was given another opportunity to resign before the Legislature’s executive board determines possible action against him.

Monday, the committee voted unanimously to send Kintner a letter from its 10 members urging him to resign by Friday, or other action would be considered.

Speaker of the Legislature Galen Hadley, who suggested the letter, said it would represent a unified request by a panel of lawmakers of diverse backgrounds and political parties.

Hadley, who is a member of the committee, said he hopes the letter prompts Kintner to resign so that lawmakers don’t have to consider other options.
