(Chicago) -- Just days after investigators seized the computer of one of Governor Pat Quinn's top aides, that woman has resigned.

Carolyn Brown-Hodge left her job as Quinn's Deputy Chief of Staff last week.

The Governor's office confirmed on Monday that Brown-Hodge is no longer working for the administration.

The "Chicago Sun Times" says her resignation comes immediately after state inspectors began asking questions as to whether Brown-Hodge was doing political work on state time.

The report says her computer had been taken for further study.

Quinn's office has been quiet about Brown-Hodge's resignation.

The Governor's main rival for reelection, Comptroller Dan Hynes, says he hopes an investigation provides some answers.
