McCall spent nearly 30 years trying to reach the top ... nobody just walks away from the Speaker of the House post voluntarily.
And when a politician says he's giving up the power, prestige and perks to spend more time with his family, all sorts of red flags should go up.
Can't wait to find out what's in McCall's closet.
From The Associated Press:
Pennsylvania House Speaker Keith McCall has decided to retire from the Legislature at the end of this year.
McCall said Tuesday that he will step down when his 14th term ends in December because he wants to spend more time with his family.
McCall says he wants to be able to join his family more often for dinner, help his children with their homework and be able to attend ball games.
The Carbon County Democrat's decision ensures that the House will soon have its fourth speaker in a period of about four years.
McCall was first elected in 1982 to fill a House seat left open by the death of his father, Rep. Thomas McCall.
The 50-year-old McCall became speaker a year ago.
