He explained that the best decision now is for him to step aside because contesting the claims against him will negatively affect state government and cost taxpayers millions of dollars at a time when the COVID-19 is still having its toll both economically and healthwise.
In a video declaring his resolve, the Democrat stated:
"I think, given the circumstances, the best way I can help now is if I step aside and let government get back to government - and therefore that's what I'll do."
