State Sen. Carlo Leone of Stamford has resigned his seat just days before the new legislative session is set to begin.
In a short, one-page letter sent Saturday to Secretary of State Denise Merrill, Leone doesn’t indicate why he is suddenly resigning. Leone has been a state senator since 2011 and was the Deputy President Pro Tempore as well as Chair of the Transportation Committee the past two years.
“It has been a great honor to serve as the Senator for the 27th District and as a member of the Connecticut Senate and I will forever cherish my time there,” Leone wrote.
