The GOP elects Jim Durkin again as the House minority leader. Durkin says he’s going to extend an olive branch to the new Speaker of the House Chris Welch so they can work together on issues important to Illinois. But Durkin didn’t miss his chance to take a few last swipes at the outgoing Madigan.

Durkin adds that it’s now time to hit the reset button on Illinois politics and begin working to let businesses thrive and grow the economy.
