Bad actors in Springfield continue to be dealt with behind closed doors.

Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan will not seek to extend her record as the longest-serving attorney general in Illinois history. Her father has remained Springfield’s most powerful state legislative leader throughout her tenure.

A post-mortem on Illinois’ 2017 regular legislative session shows missed opportunities for taxpayer savings.

Madigan has now controlled his chamber as speaker for more than 11,900 days.

The House speaker’s spokesman claims the session is not a political move.

The speaker’s prowess for political longevity is unmatched in modern America.
