Illinois A.M. (After Madigan) – Wirepoints
Mike Madigan’s tenure as House Speaker is over after nearly 40 years at the helm. In his place, Democrats have elected Hillside Democrat Emanuel “Chris” Welch to lead the chamber. Madigan’s loss of power is a monumental change, but just because he’s gone it doesn't mean Illinois’ problems are over.
And the media has ignored, glossed over, failed to report on and covered up democratic corruption in the state for decades. Only glaring incidents or when a perp walk takes place will the sham newsies cover it. Find a Republican out there that failed to pay a parking ticket and it’s a 4 page front page news story.
If Madigan gets away with it they all will. ComEd knows how to play by the “rules” in Illinois for sure, pay to play. Problem is ComEd will be the only one to take the fall, and they will just pass that cost onto us.
