Chicago Adult Entertainment: Cohen sends resignation letter to state Democratic Party

Madigan spokesman Steve Brown said the resignation papers were given today to Mike Kasper, an attorney for the state party.  ”We will be filing those for him Tuesday with the State Board of Elections,” Brown said.  Brown said he did not know if Madigan and Cohen had a discussion about how Cohen would resign.
Madigan is the only leading Democratic official who spoke to Cohen about resigning in the days after his surprise win in the Feb. 2 primary.
It was only after the election that details came out about Cohen’s business and domestic problems, including allegations he held a knife to a girlfriend who later pleaded guilty to prostitution. He denied the allegations and initially said he would remain in the race as the running mate to Gov. Pat Quinn.
