State Senator Jason Plummer (R-Edwardsville) released the following statement regarding the guilty verdict against former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan.
“This guilty verdict was well-deserved. Unfortunately, the problems in Illinois politics go deeper than just one man, we have an ongoing culture of corruption. We need action now to put true ethics reforms into place to save Illinoisans from the culture that has been perpetuated by Madigan, Pritzker, and their allies who are still in power.”
