Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan is under criminal investigation for corruption for his part in a “years-long bribery scheme” by ComEd to give his allies jobs and contracts in exchange for sweetheart deals and backroom favors.
DIRECTLY from the article: "Prosecutors alleged that ComEd 'admitted that its efforts to influence and reward the high-level elected official' included legislation that affected the regulatory process used to determine the electricity rates ComEd charged its customers."
Wow. This is just shameful.
Madigan has been the head of the Democrat Party in Illinois for 40 years. Everyone knows about his corruption, but Democrats, like my opponent, Lauren Underwood, remain silent and continue to accept millions of dollars from Madigan. But we can finally put a stop to it this year.
