The bigger they are...

From the Daily News:

Pervy Assemblyman Vito Lopez will have significantly smaller digs — and a rotten parking space — when he returns to Albany next week for the kick off of the legislative session.

The veteran Brooklyn pol was stripped of his leadership posts and committee chairmanships in the Assembly last summer amid a sexual harassment scandal and has now lost the trappings of power.

Instead of his longtime suite of offices on the top floor of the Legislative Office Building across from the Capitol, Lopez has been banished to a small, cramped office four floors below that is typically assigned to freshmen lawmakers.

While the old office had four rooms, a reception area and a shared conference room, the new one is just a single office with a reception area for his two remaining Albany staffers.

His parking space is also now much farther from the capitol door.
