The Chairman of the State Senate Transportation Committee has stepped down. 

As pressure mounted on Democrat Martin Sandoval it seems that the release of an un-redacted copy of a federal search sealed the outcome of his decision. Sandoval resigned the chairmanship with a short letter to Senate President John Cullerton.

And another person connected to the investigation is out of a state board position. 

Cesar Santoy, an alderman from Berwyn, had been nominated to the Illinois Tollway Board in February by the Governor. By the end of Friday Santoy took his name out of consideration for the spot. JB Pritzker says his office did all they could to make sure they were appointing a deserving individual to the board.

Neither Sandoval or Santoy have been charged with any criminal wrongdoing.
