WOOD DALE, Ill. (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- A northwest suburban alderman resigned Thursday in protest to the city not approving housing for teenagers.
Wood Dale Alderman Sonny Sorrentino said he was "done with politics" after angrily resigning during a city council meeting.
Video footage shows a roll call vote on allowing teens in foster care to be housed in a senior living facility.
Sorrentino supported the measure, but it was voted down. Sorrentino is then seen gathering up his items and throwing his nameplate on the floor.
Sorrentino told the Daily Herald that he's not giving up being an advocate for youth services in Wood Dale; it just won't be as an alderman.
