Himes joins chorus for Weiner resignation

 Fourth District U.S. Rep. Jim Himes this morning joined the chorus in calling for U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner of Queens, N.Y. to resign. Himes said he has donated the $2,000 in political contributions he has received over the last two election cycles from Weiner to the Yerwood Center on Stamford’s West Side.

“While millions of Americans go without work, families throughout the country fear foreclosures, and our nation faces a fiscal crisis, we cannot afford the continued distraction of this sorry situation,” said Himes. “I hope Mr. Weiner will choose to step down so Congress can put this matter to rest and so that he can focus on his personal situation.”
