CHICAGO (AP) — Electric utility ComEd has agreed to pay $200 million to resolve a federal criminal investigation into a long-running bribery scheme that implicates Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan, long considered the state’s most powerful lawmaker.

Federal prosecutors said Friday the company has admitted that from 2011 to 2019 it arranged jobs, subcontracted work and monetary payments related to those jobs “for various associates of a high-level elected official for the state of Illinois.”

More than half a dozen Illinois Democrats — including some of them former Madigan confidants and allies — have been charged with crimes or had agents raid their offices and homes.

Boss Madigan has ruled over Madiganistan since 1983. If he goes down, he'll be taking some very powerful people with him.

I'm fine with any corrupt politician getting taken down, but it's hard to get too worked up about a state level politician when Trump is shilling for Goya, and his properties are profiting from the fact that he is the president.

I'm actually a little surprised one of the board's Trumplodytes didn't post this article. Then again, it was an article about an old white guy, and not one about black people shooting each other so...........
