She is no longer Minority Leader Pro Tempore in the New York State Assembly. Republican Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb accepted her resignation. Here's what Kolb said:
Today, I had a thorough and frank discussion with Assemblywoman Scozzafava.  As a result, Dede has tendered, and I accepted, her resignation as our Conference’s Leader Pro Tempore.  Over the coming weeks, I will be assessing who will serve as our Conference’s next Leader Pro Tempore to lead our Assembly floor debates.
