State Rep. Michael DiMassa, accused of stealing more than $600,000 in federal COVID-19 relief money by billing the city of West Haven for pandemic related consulting services that federal officials said he never performed, is expected to resign his seat in the legislature as early as Friday, House Speaker Matthew Ritter said.
“The secretary of the state tells us the letter is coming tomorrow,” Ritter said late Thursday. Lawmakers intending to resign must notify the secretary of the state in writing.
DiMassa also resigned his post as an aide to the West Haven City Council on Thursday, according to Ritter. DiMassa could not be reached immediately for comment.
Immediately following his arrest Wednesday, DiMassa, a Democrat, was stripped of all committee and leadership assignments by Ritter and House majority leader Jason Rojas.
