The longstanding issue of corruption in Illinois remains a pressing concern. Despite existing laws, the problem persists, and calls for reform are growing louder. The Majority Party is criticized for not implementing significant ethics changes that would hold elected officials accountable.
An opinion piece from the Chicago Tribune questions whether the downfall of Michael Madigan could signal an end to corruption in Illinois. The article highlights the need for proactive measures to address unethical behavior before it escalates into federal crimes.
The sentiment among some is clear: "We must show zero tolerance for corruption and stop bad behavior BEFORE it becomes a federal crime if we want to earn back the trust of Illinois residents."
