Madigan Faces Mounting Pressure To Step Down

“The pressure on longtime Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan to step down is mounting.”

“Madigan hasn't been charged with a crime. However, he has been embroiled in charging documents the U.S. Department of Justice secured against ComEd. The utility agreed to pay a $200 million fine for taking part in a patronage scandal with Madigan associates in exchange for favorable legislation.”

“In a statement on Tuesday, state Sen. Heather Steans, D-Chicago, was the latest high-profile elected official to call for Madigan to step down from leadership. The statement published to a political blog said the ComEd agreement painted a ‘sordid picture of bribery, influence peddling and insider-dealing at the highest levels.’"

“She called for Madigan to resign as Speaker of the House and to step down as chairman of the Democratic Party of Illinois. She said while Madigan hasn't been charged, public servants in such leadership roles should avoid even the perception of wrongdoing.”

Bravo to State Sen. Steans. Time for the Governor to step up to the plate.

Legends - true or not - of machine politics, cronyism, corruption aside, the state could probably just benefit from a change of scenery at the top. I think it would be good for morale, and frankly remove the big boogeyman the dwindling GOP presence has

The only thing that gives me any apprehension about Madigan finally and deservedly getting the boot, is that in true Illinois fashion, we will find someone even worse to replace him.

True that. The whole point of Illinois politics, and now apparently national Democratic politics, is that absolutely no one gets what they want except the crony sinecures

If you are between the ages of 25 and 65 and uncertain of whether you have a cervix or not, please see a health professional for advisement.

The Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) told residents they should “be prepared” to hand over their phones, wallets, and purses to robbers.
The email said citizens should listen to criminals and “do as they say.”

Might be time to change residence? How about Michigan? The state cops let armed protesters take over capital.
