Tackling Illinois corruption isn’t just a moral imperative. It’s a financial necessity.

Further details are emerging in the wake of May raids on longtime allies of Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan.

Do federal authorities have their sights set on the longest-serving state legislative leader in American history?

The raid on retired Chicago Ald. Michael Zalewski is the latest indication federal authorities could be building a case against the nation’s longest-serving speaker.

Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan faces allegations of recruiting two “sham candidates” to dilute the Hispanic vote in his 2016 Democratic primary race.

Two former political workers for longtime Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan failed to attend depositions in a lawsuit alleging Madigan backed “sham candidates” in his 2016 primary election.

Madigan’s 2016 primary opponent filed a lawsuit alleging the House speaker recruited “sham” candidates in order to dilute opposition.

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 speaker protects his own. Despite the growing tally of victims, that’s why so many lawmakers are still lining up to protect him.
