Here's a story that is a real hoot. Illinois' Democratic governor, JB Pritzker, was the favored candidate of the political machine of Boss Michael Madigan in the 2018 party primary and of course he had the full backing of the party--of which Madigan is the chairman--in the general election.
People close to Boss Madigan are under federal investigation The former state senator who represented the Madigan district in Springfield, Martin Sandoval, pleaded guilty to bribery and tax evasion two days ago.
Now Pritzker is calling for ethics reform to fight corruption. If he was serious he'd call for Madigan's resignation has House speaker and party chairman.
As for Pritzker, he's under federal investigation in regards to his shady move to have the property taxes on his Chicago mansion lowered.
