(The Center Square) -Just seven months into her term, St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her is addressing accusations of sexual harassment from city employees, calling them “attempts at humor.” Her said she has been cooperating with an independent investigation since then. The city council was allegedly not made aware of the independent investigation, which is being conducted by a law firm. The City Council learned about these allegations and the hiring of the external investigators from the media,” said City Council Member Molly Coleman in a statement this week. “The City is on notice that Mayor Her has engaged in illegal conduct towards City employees,” Madel wrote.
