A House investigative committee met again to see if Speaker of the House Mike Madigan did anything “unbecoming” of a lawmaker in connection to the ComEd bribery scheme.
The committee is split with three Democrats and three Republicans. The customary move leaves House Minority Leader Jim Durkin concerned that no matter the evidence presented the decision will be split down party lines.
Durkin says that ComEd paid bribes to Madigan associates because the Speaker had the utility’s economic fate in his hands.
