Atty Gen. Lisa Madigan announced she will not seek another term. She joins Christine Radogno, Barbara Flynn Currie, Carol Sente and probably many others. The problem is they served the public well. Boss Michael Madigan and Bruce Rauner want to stay in power. This is a disturbing trend. We will be left only with crooked egotists running the State. Yes, it can get worse.

That's insane!

Madigan is just waiting to run for governor.

The two biggest problem in IL politics are Rahm and Madigan. Well versed in the machine and play to pay politics. Have deep pockets to stay in power. It doesn't matter who the governor is as whatever good the governor wants to do, it will never see the light of day without Madigan blessing off on it.

I think Lisa has done a good job, even going after entrenched companies that probably make poliical donations. It's hard to believe she's the Boss's daughter. Of course, there may be unrevealed skulduggery.

I strongly suspect Preckwinkle will be retired next year. Rahm I haven't heard any compelling alternatives step forward. They were floating Preckwinkle previously but she is now political toxic radioactive biohazard material and couldn't get elected to water reclamation. She is more hated than Todd Stroger was.

I'm new to this state. But I remember wondering when I saw the common last name if she was related to Mike. Makes sense that if Daddy is king in Illinois she is in the position she is in.

Even better- I read today that Chicago alderman Ed Burke's daughter (apparently) wants Lisa Madigan's job ROTFL

I agree that the cronyism rarely has an end here.

A lot of people in Illinois like Lisa Madigan but can't stand her stepfather. Keep in mind..he's her stepfather. He married her mother when Lisa was 10 years old, and didn't formally adopt her until she was an adult.

She's at least done a better job of appearing less corrupt....maybe its just because she's been on the political scene for less time.
