New York Assemblyman Nelson Castro (D), “who wore a wire to help indict his colleague, Eric Stevenson, announced his resignation,” the New York Observer reports.
“Stepping down from office, in addition to cooperating with federal authorities, were steps he took in order to avoid prosecution himself.”
The Westchester Journal News notes Castro “has been working as an informant for investigators since July 2009.”
