State Sen. Hiram Monserrate should do the right thing and quit before his fellows senators have to judge him, state Sen. Thomas W. Libous, R-Binghamton, said Friday.
"As a service to the people of the state, Monserrate should step aside on his own," Libous said.
Libous called the Monserrate issue "unfortunate," and said state lawmakers are facing too many pressing issues to be distracted by the case.
"I'm calling on my colleague to take the high road and resign," he said.
Libous also said he doesn't think the special panel is needed because the Senate already had an ethics committee that could have reviewed the case. The special panel just creates another layer of bureaucracy.
