Experts in Illinois politics, public corruption predict ‘chaos’ if Madigan exits – Center Square

“Think about the number of cases where you had big crime bosses that were running things from federal prison,” Fraud and corruption expert David Parker, of Saint Xavier University, said. “Just because he’s out of power doesn't mean he doesn’t have any power or influence.”

They predict chaos? Seriously?
Keep corruption to lessen chaos?
Corruption is the Illinois–WAY.

Is there any way to elect the speaker of the house by the general election? He is voted in by 60 members of the house almost always democrats. Considering he decides which bill goes to the next level or the shredder his position determines all politics even in local elections thru mandates. There were at least 5,000 bills waiting to die which he alone decided. How many of those bills could have been beneficial to taxpayers? Probably most. Term limits would solve some problems. Maybe???

Moving to another state solves the problem also.
