Tedisco to lose leadership spot

The Saratogian newspaper is reporting that Assembly minority leader Jim Tedisco will resign his leadership role on Monday.

Tedisco, who drew both praise and criticism for the management of his special election House campaign, told the newspaper, “I believe we’ll be off to congress.”

But win or lose, Tedisco seems resigned to stepping away from the minority leadership post:

“As leader, I’ve always let the conference lead me and I trust they will pick a great leader,” he said.
