How do we know that Illinois public employees are not friends of Democratic Party Chairman and Speaker Michael Madigan?
Because The Madman takes care of his friends.
And while he has been leading the charge on Senate Bill 1, a bill that would for all intents and purposes destroy the public pensions of nearly 800,000 workers in Illinois, he has been busy writing memos for pay raises for his friends.
Like some putz who works for Metra.
House Speaker Michael Madigan not only lobbied Metra to give a pay hike to a Metra worker whose family had worked on Madigan’s political campaigns but also “reportedly” tried to get someone else hired at the suburban rail agency, a newly released memo from ex-Metra CEO Alex Clifford indicates.
According, to the memo, Clifford said he was informed that he was being forced out of his job “for not complying with Speaker Madigan’s requests for politically motivated employment actions.”
Do you think gubernatorial prospect Attorney General Lisa Madigan will investigate?
