Senator Leibell to Plead Guilty to Corruption?

The political blogs are buzzing today with news that Senator Vincent Leibell (R-Patterson) may be appearing in court later today as a result of a federal investigation into land deals and non-profit foundations he controls.

Yesterday, the Albany Times Union reported that Leibell was planning to resign from the Senate.  Earlier today, the Journal News reported that Leibell will not take office in January as Putnam County Executive, the office to which he was elected last month.
