Madigan Verdict is in…GUILTY

Breaking…The verdict is in, and former House Speaker Mike Madigan has been found GUILTY in federal court on charges of bribery, bribery conspiracy, and wire fraud.

“Madigan’s network of corruption has left a stain on the fabric of Illinois. Unfortunately, we are still lacking the necessary ethics reforms to prevent further corruption at all levels of government.

How many GUILTY verdicts is it going to take for Democrats to join with Republicans and pass the tough, necessary, sweeping reforms to our ethics laws to clean up government and stamp out corruption for good? The time to act is now.” – Rep. Kyle Moore
