The prominent local attorney announced his resignation Saturday after accusing the state Democratic organization of using his name without authorization on a campaign fund-raising committee.
Burke declared that he had advocated a "no politics" rule for civil service employees and could not justify to them the linking of his name with partisan activities, even though he is a lifelong Democrat.
