“If someone can give me a good reason, I’d be more than happy to listen to it. But until we can do that, absolutely not, no — I don’t plan to resign. We’re going to seek re-election,” he told reporters at the Capitol.

Mills said he is complying with the Ethics Committee's probe and has turned over documents, but that he has no sense of whether the panel is close to wrapping up the investigation it began in November.
