Michael Brodkorb's legal team says other staffers had affairs but kept their jobs
Brodkorb claims he was "terminated based on his gender" and says his legal team has proof that female Capitol employees had affairs with male legislators but were allowed to keep their jobs. The Star Tribune says the ousted communication chief's legal team plans to dig deep into the romantic lives of legislative employees and lawmakers to make its case. Secretary of the Senate Cal Ludeman says Brodkorb is trying to "blackmail" the Senate.
