Gov. J.B. Pritzker appoints former state senator and longtime Mike Madigan ally Steven Landek to state board – Chicago Tribune/MSN

Landek, who still serves as mayor of southwest suburban Bridgeview, was one of three people  appointed to oversee a state agency that provides access to low-cost capital to public and private institutions to spur economic development. Landek’s name and the political organization he leads have been referenced in federal search warrants in the ongoing investigation, and the village of Bridgeview was subpoenaed for documents related to Madigan associates. Landek has not been accused of any wrongdoing.

Landek, what a crook! Lined his pockets with the shady stadium deal ( If the soccer team didn’t reach X amount of attendance, the town was on the hook for the make up). Taxes were raised exponentially because the team never met attendance levels. My taxes went up from $3,250 a year to $7,875 in 3 years. Color me gone from Bridgeview. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

The new corrupt Democrat machine – purchased by Pritzker with his daddys money – simply replaces the corrupt old machine.
