DiPietro: Silver Has To Resign And Do It Today

A statement delivered by Assemblyman David DiPietro (R,C – East Aurora)

Speaker Sheldon Silver is appearing in court today on bribery and fraud charges. Does this surprise anyone? It’s more of the New York City corruption issues being brought to Albany. The people deserve better than this. You cannot expect Silver to negotiate in good faith with anyone. He must step down effective immediately. This chamber can’t afford any more embarrassment by this man.
