Wilkerson says she'll step down -- as soon as possibleNovember 5, 2008 05:23 PM
By John C. Drake, Globe Staff
A week after her arrest on bribery charges, State
Senator Dianne Wilkerson said today she would
resign her office "as soon as humanly and
responsibly possible."
"I am committed to resigning my office as soon as
I can do so consistent with my need to effectuate
an orderly transition, including closing out hundreds
of active constituent matters, filing and storing
16 years of files consisting of hundreds of boxes,
assisting my current staff in finding new employment
and putting related affairs in order," Wilkerson said
in a statement released by her Senate office late
this afternoon. She did not set a date for stepping
down.
