“It’s a lot of things. It’s alcohol, it’s my marriage, it’s stress. I haven’t been taking the time to appropriately deal with everything and I can’t keep bulldozing ahead. At some point, people hit their breaking point,” Klein said.In his resignation letter, Klein, 30, said remaining a public servant during this time is no longer feasible." Read article.

People are cracking and killing each other left and right because of the stress and strain the government is putting upon America.
Vote to Shrink the size of Government. We don't need rabbits to eat cocaine to find out what happens to their heart. Some of what the tax payers pay for.
At least he gave voters his reason for quiting. We got nothing.
No, we got medical issues given as the reason for the resignation. Perhaps you weren't listening or that wasn't good enough for you, but to say we got nothing is untrue.
Good on him. To deal with this responsibly at such a relatively young age is commendable.
He'll probably do just fine.
