Michael Madigan (D-Chicago) has been the IL house speaker since 1983 (sans the 2 years when republicans had control (!).
I would not trust him to put a senator in office, although he managed to get one in with his muscle and corruption. But that guy (D-Chicago) quickly abandoned the senate role and ran for president, and, unfortunately, he won. Took Chicago to Washington.
Anyway, the Feds just indicted ComEd (power company) on corruption charges, and they have agreed to cooperate. They already paid a $200 Million fine. Michael Madigan is identified as "public official A" in the indictment.
They are finally gonna take the MF'er down.
