ssembly Speaker Sheldon Silver revealed Monday that he asked Vito Lopez to resign from the Legislature over a scandal that has tainted both their legacies.
In an interview with the Daily News on the eve of the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., Silver said he called Lopez on Friday to ask him to step down.
“He basically was inaudible,” Silver told The News of the powerful Brooklyn Democratic Party chairman’s response. “I got the impression he didn’t appreciate my advice.”
