Indicted Bay Ridge, Coney pol resigns
The southern Brooklyn pol who was indicted in January on a laundry list of fraud and corruption charges has resigned.
According to reports, Assemblymember Pamela Harris – who, since replacing former Assemblymember Alec Brook-Krasny in a 2015 special election, has represented a swath of southwest Brooklyn from Bay Ridge to Coney Island – threw in the towel on Monday, April 2 via a letter to Assemblymember Carl Heastie, the Bronx Democrat who serves as Assembly speaker.
In it, The New York Times reports, Harris tells Heastie, “…recent events interfere with my ability to continue to effectively represent my constituents.”
