Gov. J.B. Pritzker said Friday that Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan must resign if allegations of corruption are true against the fellow Democrat long considered the states most powerful lawmaker.
The speaker has a lot that he needs to answer for, to authorities, to investigators, and most importantly, to the people of Illinois, Pritzker said during a stop in suburban Chicago.
Former federal prosecutor Phil Turner, now a Chicago defense attorney, said its likely the government has pursued Madigan for years and with the ComEd allegations, found a fruitful avenue to reach him.
More than half a dozen Illinois Democrats including some of them former Madigan confidants and allies have been charged with crimes or had agents raid their offices and homes.

Oh, they’re true. ComEd gave Madigan’s position as Speaker, but didn’t name him; it’s true, and Pritzker knows it but has to play stupid. Ha, I made a funny. Like he has to play at being stupid.
In any case, he’s fvcked things up in this state for decades, and I hope his ouster is a step towards making some serious changes to the state.
... Wow, I sound naïve.

ComEd was/is Ilinois largest of many categories, $$$, employees, pols in the back pocket... property held.

Not into conspiracies, but do subscribe to Lord Acton’s view.
“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men...”
Wow, an umlaut!!!
Nice find.
Not many of them in this neck of the woods.
Al Capone regrets not going into politics...
