"The indictment of former Speaker Michael Madigan is another
step in the long process to clean up Illinois corruption. During
his half-century in office, Michael Madigan spearheaded
Illinois' decline, all while using his position of power and the
state government to enrich himself personally.
"Starting with Governor JB Pritzker, Madigan's allies in the
Illinois Democrat Party will have to answer for why they enabled
this corruption for so long that contributed greatly to our
state's challenges.
"As a former federal prosecutor, I applaud the United States
Attorney John Lausch and his team for their work. The type of
corruption outlined in the indictment must be eradicated from
our political system and the people of Illinois deserve
justice."
