David W. Hann Senate Republican Leader 147 State Office Building Sk, Pr, Minnesota Ofte Phone: 651-206-1749 Senate ; | October 19, 2015 State of Minnesota Senator Sandra L. Pappas, Chair Senate Rules Subcommittee on Ethical Conduct 616 UBS Building 444 Cedar Avenue St. Paul, MN 55101 Dear Senator Pappas: | am writing today to call on you to reconvene the Subcommittee on Ethical Conduct in order to resume consideration of our complaint against Senator Jeffrey Hayden. The subcommittee passed a motion on November 5, 2014, to reconvene within thirty days of the Department of Commerce (DOC) completing their investigation of Community Action of Minneapolis (CAM). The DOC completed and made public th investigation on June 29, 2015. We are now well beyond the thirty day window to comply with the subcommittee’s motion. Subsequent to the DOC releasing their report, the court appointed receiver of CAM released a regular monthly report to the court on October 7, 2015, that provides more facts about Senator Hayden’s conduct in regard to CAM. Specifically, the receiver made a demand to recover $3,486 in “improper expenditures” from Senator Hayden and his wife. The receiver also noted that Senator Hayden's actions do not match his public statements and his “lack of oversight” of CAM “arguably give rise to a claim for breach of fiduciary duty.” The report by the court appointed receiver provides new facts to support the original charges we filed against Senator Hayden in our September 24, 2014, complaint. During the November 5, 2014, hearing of the Subcommittee on Ethical Conduct Senator Lourey, and Senator Hayden (through his attorney), and you repeatedly argued it was too early to determine probable cause because you didn’t have all the facts. With the completion of the DOC investigation and the recent report of the receiver these additional facts can now be presented to the subcommittee. ‘Committee: Roles and Administration E-Mail: sen.david.hann@senate mn Serving Eden Prairie and MinnetonkaWhen the subcommittee does reconvene we will address our supplemental complaint against Senator Hayden first communicated on April 13, 2015, that you rejected in a May 6, 2015, letter. in your letter you stated your decision would “allow the subcommittee, in the event it determines that discipline should be recommended to the Senate, to further determine whether the Senator defending claims of ethical misconduct was sufficiently candid with the subcommittee in any dealings related to the complaint.” Our supplemental complaint alleges Senator Hayden lied under oath about his ethical misconduct. We look forward to the opportunity to bring this matter before the subcommittee. Our original complaint against Senator Hayden was submitted to the subcommittee on September 24, 2014. There has been a cloud of suspicion hanging over Senator Hayden and the Minnesota Senate for more than one year. Itis time to reconvene the subcommittee, determine probable cause under our rules, and decide on the appropriate punishment for Senator Hayden Please let me know when the hearing will be called. Sincerely, Dam (L_ David W. Hann Senate Minority Leader
