Corrupto-crat about to get the boot?
ALBANY — Embattled Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver is in discussions with top Democrats in his house about possibly stepping aside as leader, the Daily News has learned.
“It’s very early in the conversation,” a source with firsthand knowledge of the talks said Sunday. “It could go in many different ways.”
The source said Silver, who is slated to meet privately with his Democratic members Monday at the Capitol, is part of the discussions.
“It could be something that is discussed (Monday) with members in conference,” the source said. “It’s in the early stages. It’s one of just several options being looked at.”
A Silver spokesman had no immediate comment.
If Silver, 70, were to step aside, there are various ways it can happen, the source said.
