He was also charged with committing actions that"failed to meet the standard of the Office of the Attorney General" following the collision, including during its reporting and resulting investigation.
The House held its vote despite a GOP-controlled House committee finding that Ravnsborg's actions did not warrant impeachment. "Never before in our state's history has it been that a state official criminally ended the life of one of our citizens and refused to resign from that post," Mortenson said on the House floor Tuesday."I believe impeachment should be reserved only for grave and exceptional circumstances, and I believe this is one."
