FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's wife has resigned from Bloomberg Philanthropies' board of directors after the charity announced plans to expand its efforts to shutter coal-fired power plants.

Elaine Chao joined the board one year after it announced a $50 million, four-year commitment to the Sierra Club's Beyond Coal initiative. Alison Lundergan Grimes made Chao's membership on the board an issue during her failed bid to unseat McConnell last year.

At the time, McConnell defended his wife's position on the board and said she would not resign. But a McConnell spokesman said Wednesday Chao decided to resign after learning the charity planned to expand its Beyond Coal commitment, saying her service on the board was incompatible with her commitments to Kentucky.

About 90 percent of Kentucky's electricity comes from coal-fired power plants.

" Mitch McConnell's wife has resigned from Bloomberg Philanthropies' board of directors after the charity announced plans to expand its efforts to shutter coal-fired power plants "

OK. But one has to wonder why now?, since "Elaine Chao joined the board one year after it announced a $50 million, four-year commitment to the Sierra Club's Beyond Coal initiative."

" The election is over. Ditch Mitch won with his normal tactics. "

I still do not understand why she has resigned. Staying I don't think helped his reelection, and true he did get reelected. Since the election is over, I do not see what is her incentive to resign now? Did someone pay her a big bonus to resign?

Help me out here Fred.

It was a campaign issue that his challenger used against him. It bruised his shin, and her resignation then would have made him look like he caved and would have hurt him worse at the polls.

Now, in the middle of winter, it's a two day story which won't come back and haunt him in the future.
