The Wall Street Journal interviews Dick Simpson, UIC professor of political science, in a story on ComEd’s $200 million settlement in the federal investigation of a lobbying and bribery scheme involving Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan and his associates. Simpson says Madigan provides essential financial support to the campaigns of many state legislators, and that Chicago is the most corrupt metropolitan region in the country, and that Illinois is the third-most corrupt state, based on per capita convictions of public officials. https://on.wsj.com/32rT9qS
