State Representative Ryan Spain, who serves as the Deputy Minority Leader, issued a statement following the federal court's guilty verdict for former Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan. Spain expressed that this outcome highlights an ongoing issue of corruption within the statehouse.
"Today's verdict doubles down on what House Republican lawmakers have known for some time: the culture of corruption that has poisoned our statehouse must come to an end," said Spain. He emphasized the need for legislators to address ethical loopholes and restore public trust in government.
