Lesch went AWOL during Saturday's session

Four term popular DFL State Representative John Lesch was absent from House session. I was at the Capitol during part of saturday so not only everyone noticed so I did too. Everyone was wondering where Lesch was. Only 133 House members was present but where was Lesch? Politics of Minnesota has answer.
