Pritzker re-appoints top tollway official despite Madigan tapes – WGNTV (Chicago)

While tollway board vice chairman Jim Connolly was not accused of wrongdoing, the recordings played at a recent bribery trial appear to show him pledging allegiance to former Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan, who is now under indictment, and his top lieutenant who was just found guilty of bribery conspiracy.

The Illinois Tollway system is probably the most corrupt agency in Illinois. Patronage appointments, clout heavy in every section, not responsible to anyone except tollway officials and mired in a history of corruption and controversy.
