According to a story on the upstate Times Herald Record's web site state Sen. John Bonacic (R-Mount Hope) has become the first GOP state senator to call for Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno (R-Brunswick) to resign in the aftermath of Bruno's revelation that he is being investigated by the FBI.
As Liz Benjamin notes over at Capitol Confidential, Bonacic is a close ally of state Sen. Dean Skelos (R-Rockville Centre) who has long been seen as Bruno's successor.
