Dorothy Abreu, the banker Gov. JB Pritzker appointed as chairwoman of the Illinois Tollway board of directors, announced she is stepping down.
Abreu, a senior vice president for PNC, said the "demanding role" of the tollway position contributed to health issues and that she is leaving to "focus on my health and focus on my family."
Abreu was appointed last February and was viewed as a stabilizing force after the tumultuous tenure of her predecessor, former Peoples Gas president Will Evans. Not long after Pritzker appointed him, Evans voted on a multimillion-dollar tollway contract that included an engineering firm he'd previously worked for.
Evans took control of tollway procurement, which until then had been in the domain of administrators.
