A few brave souls have come forward with their stories about the behavior under Madigan’s dome. But how many still feel powerless?

Tim Mapes has resigned from his posts in Madigan’s office and the Democratic Party of Illinois after a fellow staff member accused him of sexual harassment.

The longtime House speaker is the only state legislative leader in the nation to also serve as a party chairman.

Every dollar Madigan earns back for his corporate clients makes someone else’s property-tax bill go up.

Since 1994, members of The People’s Map — which sued to keep a legislative map reform amendment off Illinois’ November ballot — and their employers have given over $6.6 million to Friends of Michael J. Madigan, the Democratic Majority and the Democratic Party of Illinois, which House Speaker Mike Madigan chairs.
