Chairman of the Democratic Party of Illinois Michael Madigan says he knows nothing about abrupt resignation of one of his vocal critics.
Republican State Representative Ron Sandack of Downers Grove suddenly stepped down earlier this week.
Madigan -- in Philadelphia for the Democratic National Convention -- had little to say about the scandal.
“I’d leave it up to Sandack to explain his problems. I have my own problems that I can talk about.”
Sandack has said politics has gotten “too ugly” and submitted a police report complaining about an “internet scam.”
Sandack has been a loyal ally of Republican Governor Bruce Rauner.
