State Senator Sally Turner (R-Beason) issued the following
statement after the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced the
indictment of former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan on
public corruption charges:
“Today’s indictment of former Speaker Madigan comes as no
surprise to far too many people. Once again, the ethics laws of
our state have failed the people of Illinois and has forced the
federal government to step in to clean up Illinois’ corruption.
“It is time for the lawmakers of this state to take ethics
seriously and to pass real reforms that will help keep corrupt
public officials accountable for the illegal actions.”
