Felon Madigan should repay taxpayers nearly $600K for public pension – Illinois Policy

Under state law, the board should permanently suspend former House Speaker Mike Madigan’s pension benefits. Since retiring in 2021, he’s received nearly $600,000. The law calls for him to return that money to taxpayers. If the board does not act, taxpayers could be responsible for paying another $1.65 million to a man convicted of abusing his public office for personal gain.

I can’t believe Madigan let this bill through, knowing that it could eventually bite him. I’m sure there is one line somewhere in some obscure bill that protects him.
