💨 Abstract
Michael Madigan, Illinois's longest-serving legislative leader, faces sentencing on June 13, 2025, after being convicted of bribery, conspiracy, and wire fraud. Madigan's actions involved ensuring favorable legislation for utility company ComEd in exchange for kickbacks and jobs for allies. Prosecutors seek a 12.5-year prison term, while Madigan's attorneys argue for probation, citing his age and lack of personal financial gain.
