A wide-ranging public corruption investigation surrounding ComEd has the utility willing to pay $200 million to the feds to settle the matter in a deferred prosecution case.
Along with the fine comes the realization that Public Official A in the investigation is Speaker of the House Mike Madigan.
The US Attorneys Office says between 2011-2019: "ComEd arranged for various associates of (Madigan) including (Madigan's) political allies and individuals who performed political work for him to obtain jobs, vendor subcontracts, and monetary payments.." even where they performed little or no work.
Today Democrat Governor JB Pritzker says Madigan might need to step down.
As part of the deferred prosecution case it appears that ComEd has an “obligation” to continue to cooperate with government investigations.
