New York State Assembly Speaker Vows He Is Innocent But Resigns Anyway



Sheldon Silver, New York Asembly Speaker

[From article]
Silver spokesman Michael Whyland says Friday that Silver filed a letter saying his resignation as Assembly leader will take effect at 11:59 p.m. Monday.
The 70-year-old Manhattan Democrat had already announced that he would relinquish the position he held for 21 years after he was arrested last week on federal corruption charges. He denies the charges and intends to hold on to his seat in the Assembly.
