From NPR:
The Bush administration's top housing official resigned Monday amid a criminal investigation and a lawsuit over alleged favoritism in awarding contracts.
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Alphonso Jackson did not say why he was stepping down, but some prominent Democrats in Congress have called for his resignation.
"There comes a time when one must attend more diligently to personal and family matters. Now is such a time for me," he said. His resignation will take effect on April 18.
How many times have we heard this happen with the same reason for resigning? How many have resigned from their often very high posts as well? Is it me? Does it just seem high due to media filters or is it actually a really high number? I flipped around a little, but could not get a credible answer anywhere. I would be very interested if anyone knows where not only to find these data, but comparative data to other administrations.
