Legislators, reform groups react to Madigan verdict
The Chicago Tribune detailed the statements made by Illinois’ political leaders following the conviction of former Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan. Reps. Spain and McCombie, others made impassioned pleas for reform.
The Tribune also spotlighted Reform for Illinois’ joint statement with Common Cause Illinois and Change Illinois:
“We hope lawmakers will follow through on their promise to continue this work and begin rebuilding Illinoisans’ faith in their government. Failing to fix our broken system will just leave the door open for the next Madigan, continuing the cycle of corruption, scandal, and mistrust that plagues our state. Illinois deserves better.”
