Head of labor group repped by lobbyist dating NY Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie suddenly resigns days after romance revealed

The head of a labor group repped in Albany by the lobbyist recently revealed to be Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie’s gal pal abruptly stepped down this week, The Post has learned.

The sudden resignation of Dean Angelakos, from Greater New York Laborers-Employers Cooperation and Education Trust (LECET), came days after the outlet NY Focus reported last week that the 56-year-old Dem has been in a romantic relationship with 32-year-old Rebecca Lamorte.

Since then, Albany insiders have been abuzz over who could have leaked a letter, Lamorte had presented to her higher ups seeking permission to continue lobbying the Assembly while dating the speaker.

Lamorte is LECET’s legislative and communications director and a regular presence in the state Capitol where she lobbies primarily on labor issues, according to public lobbying disclosures.
