SPRINGFIELD (The Center Square) – Taxpayers paid nearly $187,000 for rentals and catered meals for members of the Illinois House earlier this month as lawmakers gathered at a convention center in Springfield rather than the Illinois State Capitol.

Madigan influence on 2021 redistricting unclear, uncertain

SPRINGFIELD (The Center Square) – Illinois lawmakers will get another crack at redrawing the state’s political boundaries following this year’s Census, and that process every ten years has been run by House Speaker Michael Madigan for decades.

SPRINGFIELD (The Center Square) -- More Illinois House Democrats have said they won’t support Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan for another term. Every two years, the Illinois House votes for speaker; 60 votes are needed. The office manages how the House operates. Madigan (D-Chicago) has held that spot for all but two years since 1983. He recently has been implicated in several federal indictments against other people but hasn’t himself been charged with a crime. He maintains his innocence. State Rep. […]
