A Minnesota Senate ethics panel on Tuesday is expected to begin considering what to do with a lawmaker who's charged with burglary for allegedly breaking into her estranged stepmother's house. Democratic Sen. Nicole Mitchell, of Woodbury, told police she broke in last month because her stepmother refused to give her items of sentimental value from her late father, including his ashes, according to the felony complaint. Mitchell's status has posed a dilemma for her fellow Democrats because they hold a one-seat majority in the Senate, so they need her vote to pass anything that lacks bipartisan support.
