Madigan and Co. protect themselves

Posted August 19, 2017 1:00 am

Due to a company transfer my family moved to Illinois in 1971. Now, the state is in financial trouble under Michael Madigan, House speaker, and Senate President John Cullerton - or Madigan and Co.

For most of the past thirty-four years Madigan and Co. has led the state into its current near-bankruptcy, robbing Peter to pay Paul, which has caught up with Madigan and Co.

But, no, the Illinois Democratic legislators have decided that the remaining Illinois residents will start bailing them out by raising our taxes. Enough should be enough!

Now we have a business approach to the problems, but Madigan and Co. will not work for a solution because it would cripple Madigan and Co.

It's time for all Springfield legislators to go home and earn an honest living, not on the backs of the remaining residents.
