Rep. Peggy Scott (R-Andover)
Governor Mark Dayton says Republican State Representative Peggy Scott is “way out of bounds” with comments she made about a sex harrassment lawsuit filed by a former employee of the state Commerce Department. Dayton says one of the people involved is not a public official and “if I were that employee, I’d hire a lawyer and I’d sue Representative Scott for defamation of character.” Dayton says Scott is accepting allegations made by one disgruntled former employee and making very serious accusations. Scott could be immediately reached for comment.
