Rockford native Michael Elston, who's been embroiled for months in the controversy over the sacking of eight federal prosecutors, said today that he's resigning his post at the Justice Department. More on Elston's role in the scandal can be found here (and through links therein).
UPDATE: More on Elston's resignation and the controversies surrounding his actions is available here.
DISCLAIMER: Over the past few months, The Rascal repeatedly has referred to Elston as a "native" of Rockford, following the lead of the Rockford Register Star in that regard. But I've never confirmed independently that Elston was born in Rockford, only that he grew up here and graduated from Auburn High School. At 5:17 p.m. today, the Register Star's Web site omitted any mention of Elston being a native, referring instead to his "local ties" and his having been a "Rockford resident."
