Hayworth escalates the stakes in the drone wedding controversy

Brian Tumulty

That little camera-equippped drone that hovered over the June 21 wedding of Democratic Rep. Sean Maloney to longtime partner Randy Florke isn’t being forgotten.

Republican challenger Nan Hayworth is calling today for Maloney to step down from the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee because the Federal Aviation Administration, which the committee oversees, is investigating the matter.

Earlier this week Hayworth only asked for Maloney to resign from the subcommittee with FAA jurisdiction and not the full committee.

According to the FAA, the agency “is looking into a report that unmanned aircraft overflew a wedding in Cold Spring, N.Y, in June to determine if there was any violation of federal regulations or airspace restrictions.’’
