LOPEZ DOA: Silver cuts Brooklyn assemblyman’s life support, says it’s time for Lopez to go
ALBANY — New York Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver will introduce legislation on Friday recommending that state lawmakers expel Bushwick Assemblyman Vito Lopez, who is accused of sexual harassment.
Silver will also ask the Assembly to consider the full Joint Commission on Public Ethics report, which was critical of Silver’s handling of the Lopez case, according to a statement released by Silver’s office late Thursday night.
The statement said a vote on the resolution to sanction Lopez would occur on Monday.
