During one year, Hagedorn's office spent nearly $500,000 on franked mail and printing services. Hagedorn has refused to cooperate with inquiry.
The Minnesota Republican's office paid the staffer's company more than $100,000 during his first term.
The allegations concern payments made to a Hagedorn staff member for more than $100,000 in taxpayer dollars for the printing of mailers. That revelation was first reported by the Minnesota Reformer. Hagedorn is also alleged to have maintained a rent-free campaign office, which was reported by Politico.
The matter was referred to the House Ethics Committee on a 6-0 vote from the OCE board. It will be reviewed by the House Ethics Committee.
