In his resignation letter to CHA chairman Jim Reynolds, Jordan said the hullabaloo surrounding his use of his city-issued credit card to expense dinners, skyboxes at the United Center and to pay for red light camera tickets became "an impediment to my ability to steer this $1 billion a year organization" and that the expenses at issue amounted to "approximately $15,000 over three years, were not used for any personal expenditures, and were consistent with CHA and HUD policies and practices.”
