In a period of less than 2 weeks, Speaker Madigan has contributed well over $100,000 to the campaign of Democrat Carol Sente which obviously obligates her to vote whatever way Michael Madigan wants her to vote. In fact, since she was appointed to the 59th District Illinois House seat, Sente has voted “the Madigan way” over 90 percent of the time.
As Illinois taxpayers, we can’t afford Mike Madigan as Speaker of the House. He’s been running Springfield for almost 40 years with the following results: Our state’s tax situation is forcing businesses to shut down or move to other states; our unemployment situation is worse than the rest of the nation; our state is flat broke and we cannot borrow any more money; our state’s bond rating is the lowest among the 50 states; we have the largest pile of unpaid bills.
Doing things “the Madigan way” has really cost us. Madigan has voted against businesses, he has cost our state tens of thousands of jobs, and he and his tactics have cost Illinois taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Voting for Carol Sente would be insane.
I have received six different Sente mailings and they all say she is an independent. The lie is that all six pieces are from the Illinois Democratic Party which means Michael Madigan approved the mailing and paid for it. Sente has already been bought and paid for.
I’m voting for Dan Sugrue on Nov. 2.
