The leader of the New York state Senate says he won’t resign his leadership post amid a federal investigation into the awarding of a $12 million stormwater contract on Long Island.

Republican Dean Skelos tells reporters Wednesday that he is cooperating with authorities and has hired an attorney.

The probe focuses on whether Skelos influenced Nassau County’s decision to award the 2013 contract to Arizona-based AbTech, which had hired Skelos’ son Adam as a consultant.

The company said in a statement that it is cooperating with investigators and is not a target.

U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara’s office has not commented on the case. Bharara has called Albany a “cauldron of corruption.”

Former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, a Democrat, is fighting federal charges that he accepted nearly $4 million in payoffs.
