State Assembly Minority Leader is calling for Gov. Eliot Spitzer's resignation, following reports that the governor has been implicated in a prostitution ring.

Here is Tedisco's statement released Monday afternoon:

"Today's news that Eliot Spitzer was likely involved with a prostitution ring and his refusal to deny it leads to one inescapable conclusion: he has disgraced his office and the entire state of New York. He should resign his office immediately.  Public service is a public trust - Eliot Spitzer violated this trust and has forsaken his oath of office.  For the good of his family, for the good of our state, for the good of the governorship, Eliot Spitzer must resign immediately.  He is unfit to lead our state and unfit to hold public office."
