Pritzker Freezes Funds to Madigan-Sponsored Projects – Better Government Association

Among the four projects is a $98 million noise abatement project at the Belt Railway yards, where screeching train brakes have interrupted the sleep of patrons at nearby hotels. The hotel owners, Jon and Mark Weglarz, have been clients of Madigan’s tax appeal law practice. Other projects included a $31 million earmark for the Academy for Global Citizenship, $9 million for the John Hancock College Preparatory High School and another $6 million to build a control tower at Lewis University Airport in Romeoville.
