That sound you hear? It may be excavation work for the grave for Rep. Vito Fossella‘s Congressional career. As if last week’s allegation of drunk driving wasn’t enough, now comes the admission of a “love child.” Per Crain’s: “Rep. Vito Fossella, R-Staten Island, acknowledged Thursday morning that he had an affair with a former military liaison and that they had a child together. ‘I have had a relationship with Laura Fay, with whom I have a 3-year-old daughter,’ he said in a statement issued at 11 a.m. ‘My personal failings and imperfections have caused enormous pain to the people I love, and I am truly sorry.'” Mr. Fossella is married and has three children. He indicated he won’t resign, but didn’t say anything about his reelection plans. (Rep. Fossella’s career in interesting in a Coney Island context because City Council Member Dominic Recchia, an opponent of the city’s original redevelopment plan, is one of the people running for his seat.) Gothamist fills in details too, noting that Rep. Fossella’s wife is said to be leaving him. Developing.
