IMPORTANT STATEMENT FROM STATE SENATOR KEVIN PARKER

21ST SENATE DISTRICT

 

 "I cannot allow my personal issues to distract the Senate from its important work in Albany.”

"I have agreed with Majority Leader Malcolm Smith to step aside as Majority Whip and Chair of my Committee until this matter is resolved.  I will remain engaged in the important issues before the Senate, including mayoral control of our schools and the need for green jobs, and continue to work to create opportunity for the residents of the 21st District in these difficult economic times."
