(The Center Square) – Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan announced Thursday that he would resign from his seat at the end of the month, prompting a cascade of reactions from throughout the state.

“I leave office at peace with my decision and proud of the many contributions I’ve made to the state of Illinois, and I do so knowing I’ve made a difference,” Madigan said in a statement.
