Time to get back to examining public trust in state government, through the reign of the former Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives, Michael Madigan.
In this episode, Lissa Druss and Thom Serafin bring Ray Long of the Chicago Tribune
back to our chat room. Ray spent nearly three weeks covering
the perjury trial of Tim Mapes, who was Speaker Madigan’s Chief of
Staff for over two decades. What did the Mapes verdict signal
about Madigan's upcoming trial? Is Illinois getting any
closer to cleanliness in Springfield?
Buckle your safety belt for another trip through the remarkable
influence of The Velvet Hammer.
