Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan, who sits on a gerrymandered supermajority in Springfield, has been at his post for 30 of the last 32 years. The Chicagoan is also chairman of the Illinois Democratic Party--his daughter is the state attorney general.

The Turnaround Illinois video puts things into the proper perspective.
