SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (IRN) Lawmakers in an Illinois House committee are picking up on things the previous General Assembly attempted to address but was sidetracked last year by COVID-19.
Stories boiled over throughout 2019 about corruption at the statehouse. Stories include a lawmaker wearing a wire catching another lawmaker in an alleged bribe, to other officials having their offices raided by federal investigators.
There is also the ongoing federal investigation of the case utility Commonwealth Edison admitted to where the company said it paid $1.3 million in contracts and jobs to associates of former House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago. Madigan has not been charged with a crime and has denied wrongdoing.
