Springfield, IL – State Senator Sue Rezin (R-Morris) issued the following statement in response to the guilty verdict in the corruption trial of former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan:
“Michael Madigan spent decades building and protecting a corrupt political machine that put personal and political gain ahead of taxpayers. His conviction is a step toward accountability, but the system that allowed his abuse of power still remains in place. Illinois needs real ethics reform to prevent this kind of corruption from happening again.”
