Description
The “ComEd Four” trial ended earlier this week when four former executives and lobbyists for the utility company were found guilty on all corruption and bribery charges. The case was billed as the biggest Illinois corruption trial in more than a decade. Now, that title and focus is likely to shift to next year’s corruption trial involving former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan, whose voice, shadow, and legacy loomed large over these proceedings. WTTW’s Amanda Vinicky and WBEZ’s Dan Mihalopoulos join host Jacoby Cochran to give their reactions on the trial’s outcome. The trio also discuss unionization efforts among state government staffers, PPP fraud allegations against one of Chicago’s most profitable restaurants, and some good news on the pitch and in the garden.
