According to a NY Post report, the president of the NY chapter of the National Organization for Women, Zenaida Mendez, said she believes Sheldon Silver,
NYS speaker of the Assembly, should resign over his handling of the Vito Lopez sex harassment case.
John Berenger, the chairman
of the Divide
NYS Caucus, wrote in an email news release on Monday he wanted to see an end to the concentration
of power by the state's top three elected officials — the governor,
Assembly speaker and Senate majority leader — and hopes the convention is the best way to achieve that.
