In fact, I’d go so far as to say that Madigan is the reason Bruce Rauner didn’t bust the unions in this state the way former Governor Scott Walker did in Wisconsin.

It certainly wasn’t Mayor Rahm or even Senate president John Cullerton who led the fight to save the unions. Man, they’d have sold out the unions in a heartbeat—especially Rahm.

But Madigan didn’t budge. No matter how many downtown Republicans hired his law firm to win them property tax breaks.

So, yes, it’s payback time, and the Rauner crowd is coming after him, salivating over every little detail of the Commonwealth Edison case. Even though President Trump himself did far worse. And they didn’t say boo about him. Well, we all know Republicans are phonies.

Just thinking about who’s against Madigan is almost enough to make me support him.
