ALBANY—Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava has resigned her leadership post in the chamber, after she endorsed a Democrat when her Congressional bid collapsed.

"Today, I had a thorough and frank discussion with Assemblywoman Scozzafava," Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb said in a statement. "As a result, Dede has tendered, and I accepted, her resignation as our Conference's Leader Pro Tempore. Over the coming weeks, I will be assessing who will serve as our Conference's next Leader Pro Tempore to lead our Assembly floor debates."

Kolb hinted at this a week ago.

Dede & the GOP

It is a least the GOP Party can do for a sell out like Dede.

It is not like she was NOT advised months in advance that her stances would not float with GOP base supporters. (Dumb)

Remember Dede was selected not by the people in a primary, but by the buying of County Chairs in a back room deal.
