It might get rid of the main problem but all the little felons that are still in office need to be cleaned out too.

Let's not forget Madigan's legal occupation. He is the founder and senior partner in the firm Madigan And Getzendanner. This firm specializes in corporate real estate property tax appeals. Needless to write, this firm profits from Madigan's position and power. Among its clients have been the John Hancock Center and Prudential Plaza.


In the first decade of the 2000s, Madigan and Getzendanner received the largest number of reductions for their clients of any property tax appeal firm in Cook County.


Venues for property tax appeals law firms can include hearings in the Cook County court system. A number of these judges have been slated as candidates for election by Madigan, through his role as both a Democratic ward committeeman and as chairman of the Illinois Democratic party.

Yep, the tentacles of Mikey's corruption go so deep the only sane thing to do is purge them all and start over.

The ComEd story sounds exactly the same as what was reported about what was going on with Madigan and the Metra

Probably none. This investigation has been on going for several years.

And as I have mentioned before, Madigan was a member, and last one remaining, from the last constitutional convention. In effect, he wrote the book and has worked it to his advantage to the detriment of the citizens of the state!

Madigan is untouchable. I'm sure he will pin this on some fall guy and nothing will happen to him.
