The heat remains on ComEd and the Speaker of the House. Governor JB Pritzker says he’s still waiting for more information before calling for Mike Madigan to step down as both the head of the Illinois Democratic Party, Speaker of the House, or as a legislator. Pritzker says if the allegations are true, he has to step down but Pritzker, for now, seems to be waiting out the allegations for more proof. He is willing however to continue to push for ethics reform at the statehouse.

U.S. Attorney John Lausch told reporters last week that ComEd paid millions in bribes to "Public Official A" for contracts and favorable legislation starting in 2011. Court documents do not identify "Public Official A" but say he was Speaker of the House. Madigan has been House Speaker since 1997 and is also chair of the Illinois Democratic Party. ComEd has agreed to pay a 200-million-dollar fine in connection with the case and cooperate with the feds.
