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.
