Top-ranking GOP Illinois state lawmaker Ron Sandack resigns--anyone got the real story?

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Top-ranking Republican state Rep. Ron Sandack says he's resigning from the Illinois House, citing "cyber security issues."

Sandack has used Facebook and Twitter accounts, but both appeared to have been taken down Monday morning.

"It has been a tremendous honor and privilege to serve the people of the 81st District for the past four years in Springfield. But after some cyber security issues arose, I began to re-evaluate my continued public service," the House Republican floor leader from Downers Grove said in the statement released late Sunday through a House GOP spokeswoman.

Sandack also said he wants to spend more time with family.

Anytime that old "spend more time with family" excuse comes up, I get real curious about the REAL story.
