New York politics is getting hit hard. Last week the governor announched he won't seek election due to a scandal, this morning Rep. Charles Rangel announced stepping down as chairman from the House Ways and Means Committee because of a scandal. Now, congressman Eric Massa has announced he's retiting because of "health issues", but the folks over at Politico think it has to do with something else.
According to several House aides – on both sides of the aisle – the House Ethics Committee has been informed of allegations that Massa, who is married with two children, sexually harassed a male staffer.He has non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
Massa, whose departure endangers Democrats’ hold on a competitive seat, told POLITICO Wednesday afternoon that no one has brought allegations of misconduct to him.
Asked about the sexual harassment allegations, Massa said: "When someone makes a decision to leave Congress, everybody says everything. I have health issues. I'll talk about it [later].”

This is sad when a person in office can do such a crime as this to another male. How sick. Not ok, We are suppose to trust our leaders in office but, when they do things like this it is very concerning. I pray God have mercy on your soul.
