SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - An Illinois state senator under federal investigation for fraud has resigned his office.
In a letter sent Wednesday to the secretary of the senate, Chicago Democrat Martin A. Sandoval said his
resignation is effective Jan. 1.
FBI agents raided Sandoval’s Springfield and Chicago offices and home Sept. 24 seeking data on concrete and construction businesses, bribery or theft of federal funds.
After the raid, Gov. J.B. Pritzker and others demanded Sandoval step down as chairman of the Transportation Committee. Pritzker expressed concern about the integrity of his $41.5 billion state construction program, in which Sandoval took a leading role last spring.
Sandoval has represented the 11th District since 2003. In his letter, Sandoval said his respect for his constituents and the Senate convinced him that his resignation was necessary.
He may be in prison for a long time.

DeleteBig Larry is a Fed informant why do you think he is never caught up in any of this crap!
DeleteWho knows if he's going away, or for how long. There's a lot of speculation going on here that's for sure. If they got a lot on him he best either get the first seat on the bus, or wait em out. Both tactics are useful depending on the situation
