SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — State Rep. Luis Arroyo has resigned, just days after being arrested on a federal bribery charge.
Prosecutors said they caught the Chicago Democrat on tape offering to pay a $2,500bribe to a state senator in exchange for support on a gaming bill. Arroyo has denied the allegation.
Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan said while process to expel Arroyo ends, “there is still a focus on strengthening our laws to prevent this unacceptable conduct.”
