The Mike Madigan indictment is raising questions about whether some elections two years ago were supported by tainted money from Madigan.
CHICAGO --
Wehrli, who called himself a thorn in this side of Madigan, was bounced from office in 2020 by a Madigan-backed newcomer, Janet Yang Rohr. Wehrli believes he lost because of ill-gotten gains Madigan funneled to Yang Rohr. In the indictment, the feds referred to the racketeering and bribery activity as the"Madigan Enterprise," accusing Madigan of using his position"to influence and garner loyalty from legislators by providing or withholding staff and funding to legislators and their campaigns."
