The Chicago Republican Party reacted to the long-awaited indictment of Michael Madigan with calls for the many Democratic Party politicians who accepted the largess, power and money of the corrupt Madigan Machine to come clean and return the funds.
“This indictment
might be limited to Madigan and immediate cronies, but the stench and
corruption extends to all who happily flew under Madigan’s wings,
while knowing full well how all that power and money was generated”
stated Chicago Republican Chairman Steve Boulton.
Boulton, who with former Republican Cook County Commissioner
Tony Peraica took on Madigan and his organizations in federal lawsuits
alleging misconduct, were among the few who directly and publically
stood against Madigan when others feared to do so. Also standing
against Madigan was 13th Ward Republican Committeeman David Krupa, who ran for Alderman in 2019, against Madigan’s lieutenant, Marty Quinn, and suffered substantial consequences for doing so.
“The blame for the disastrous fiscal condition of government
in Springfield, Cook County and Chicago can be laid directly at the
doorstep of Madigan and those Democrat officeholders who blithely
followed his directions for years, and participated in a corrupt
political machine, all for their own personal advancement or profit,”
stated Boulton. “We will not listen to how they did not know. They need to acknowledge their fault and return the millions in tainted Madigan money.”
