BRENDEN MOORE Illinois state Rep. Michael Madigan, who had served as state House speaker for decades until he was ousted in January, said he is resigning his seat in the Legislature. Former House Speaker Michael Madigan announced Thursday his resignation from the Chicago-based House seat he’s held since 1971, a move that was expected after his 36-year reign as speaker came to an end in January. Known as the “Velvet Hammer” for quietly wielding the vast power he amassed over a half-century, Madigan’s departure from state government is characteristically low-key, with the announcement coming in the form of a lengthy press release, with Madigan thanking his family and staff and touting his legislative accomplishments.
