North Dakota leaders are honoring state Rep. Liz Conmy, a Fargo Democrat remembered by colleagues as compassionate, direct, and deeply committed to public service, after she was killed this weekend in a small plane crash in Minnesota.
Conmy was one of two people killed when a Beech F33A crashed shortly after taking off from Crystal Airport, north of Minneapolis, authorities said. The aircraft went down on Saturday in Southbrook Park in Brooklyn Park and caught fire. Police responded around 11:51 a.m., and the Federal Aviation Administration said two people were on board. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash.
