Madigan releases statement after prosecutors indict allies – Center Square

"If there was credible evidence that I had engaged in criminal misconduct, which I most certainly did not, I would be charged with a crime. But I have not, and with good reason because there is nothing wrong or illegal about making job recommendations, regardless of what people inside ComEd may have hoped to achieve from hiring some of the people who were recommended."

He did nothing wrong.. Just got people jobs. Nothing else has been proven. He will walk away scott free. All he needs to do is drag this out to 12:01 PM on January 20th when Biden ascends to his righfull place as prez. The FBI probe will magially stop once Biden takes office. Don’t worry, Pritzker, Durbin and Madigan will again be BFFs.

One of the most despised politicians of his time. He played a key role in destroying the state. No mercy.

I guess a jury will decide if Madigan’s claim of innocence holds water. My goodness, who knows what may be made public in a trial!

A statewide concern: Illinois’ population decline outpaces neighboring states – Wirepoints on ABC20 Champaign

“We are not in good shape” Wirepoints’ Ted Dabrowski told ABC 20 Champaign during a segment on Illinois’ latest population losses. Illinois was one of just three states to shrink in the 2010-2020 period and has lost another 300,000 people since then. Ted says things need to change. “It’s too expensive to live here, there aren’t enough good jobs and nobody trusts the government anymore. There’s just other places to go where you can be more satisfied.”
